the 'Cheetah' from Indian Airforce - Hindustan Aeronautics made AS315B parked outside RBHSL Hanger :E

VF,

A real "mans" helicopter - no plastic. It should be an SA315B - before the days of AS. Still holds the world altitude record 12,442 m in 1972!!

I think Switzerland ( ~ 20 still registered) and India are the last bastion of the Lama.

Look out for the Cheetal with the "fat" engine. Hopefully they get it up and running.

Hi RVDT.............thanks for Your inputs & picture :cool: I believe the highest ever for a Helicopter was flown by Fred North in a B2 to 42,500' (12,879m) :eek: my highest flown was a mere 28,500' (8,636m) in a B3+ :8
Fred North | World Altitude Record ? 42,500FT :D

VF,

Freds record is a "personal" one and not "officially" recognised and some of the attempt was handled a little "carelessly" shall we say. Where is the evidence?

More mouth than trousers? Wanna buy a bridge?

The "official" record still stands with the Lama. :ok:

Nite
 

Hey RVDT....so You reckon it was faked?? :ooh:

Arrrj

Your new office looks nice VF :ok:.

Are the tinted windows affecting the photos you take? I hope not, I always look forward to your photos

How you liking the 130 Steve?

I reckon it is better in the hover than the 350 - but as you know I have about 30 minutes in one and 2 hours in the other. I was told the cross-section of the tailboom was modified but I have not verified.

Haha, fair enough buddy! :)

I see you bought the wife a vibrator.

Hey Arrrj...primerly HEMS style medevacs, but yes the odd charter :ok:

I think your lovely coey on the left is an asset to your company bro

Hey BB & dangerous too :mad:

I noticed some articles in the news in the last couple of days suggesting Sherpas are worried that frequent (unauthorised) tourist flights above everest base camp are creating an avalanche danger from the noise & vibration. How busy is it up there? Are you going to need some ATC around the mountain?

Woof

How are you finding new ride especially the Fenistron .
You look relaxed as does belovid

X-File
 

Hey 500e.....thanks Mate, it is very relaxed & nice here :O new ride is like a limo, just got to be careful with the Fenestron. Flying technique is very different, You gotta pre load before it's required otherwise You get a huge Ng spike, but once Your used to it, it's OK :ooh:
