Heli Expo 2014 Roll Call
Morning all and happy new year :)
Whose up for / going to HAI convention next month? I'm booked locked and ready to rock lol. I suspect one of the main highlights will be Airbus Helicopters, Bell Short Light Single etc etc. Any other thoughts? Cheers |
Will be there on RHC stand and around. D
|
I will be there on the Bell stand feel free to come by
|
Afraid I won't be there; on the brightside you're hangover will be better....:E
|
I will be there on the BBA Aviation stand. Stop by and say hello.
|
I've taken over Ray Prouty's lectures and will be providing one of the pre-expo courses, and then loitering with intent to bore after that.
|
What days do the a/c fly in / get transported into the temp heliport outside the convention centre out of interest...is it over the weekend or at least a week before? Be nice to get some approach shots.
:) :cool:@ Eval Looking forward to this thou and is anyone else revealing / unveiling anything new I wonder ...... Cheers |
Bit of a sneak preview
Well it seems there will be a welcome in the hillsides of Anaheim [if you can find one] for posters on this forum according to this [one of a few] power up your phone facility inside the Anaheim Convention Center.....
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...1120799sml.jpg No signs yet of anything earth shattering about to be announced in the halls from Tuesday but that is the joy of this event - you never know what lies around the corner.:ok: |
Got to San Diego last night, arrive Anaheim this afternoon.
|
Well think I heard Enstrom maybe unveiling something new :) , and the S/X-97 Raider mock up is inside (just woken up after arriving last night lol)
There's a white AS332C1. classic Bell 47J lurking around, SUndance Helicopters EC130B4, and the classic Sikorsky HO5S and that warbirds AH-1G Cobra in the old US Army Test and Eval red / white colors that was on show last year. If you want to see more, just check out the Verticalmag FB page as theres photos of the a/c arriving. Cheers |
Anybody heard of any Euroc...err...Airbus announcements regarding the X4, X6, X9 programs? At last year's HeliExpo, Lutz Bertling promised at least a "glimpse" of X4 this year, but there's nothing in the press release...
|
Hoping to pop in for the day either Wednesday or Thursday, have to see which day I can get a pass for free, hopefully..
|
I haven't heard anything more about the X4 other than this article in December.
Eurocopter X4 Design Details Emerge | Aviation International News With the AW169 getting so many orders, you would think they would be trying to promote it more. Maybe it's because of the troubles they had with 175 and 145T2 cert that they've pushed it back. |
Well there is an AW609 doing demo flights here as well lol
|
Bell is introducing a new product.
It seems that they are getting into the hotel electronic key market.
Finally realized what they should have done all along? Oh, yes they are also re-introducing the 525...as a video again. |
And the "stick on logo" market ..... even on the elevator glass.....
|
wow!
Sorry I missed the yawn and "bored" emoticons. |
No photos out of HAI appearing here yet? AW109 Trekker or EC175 or 76D?? Or the girls with the sweepstake tickets :E
Just sayin, its been awful quiet! Post some photos people so those of us who couldn't make it can see what is going on!!! Thanks :sad: |
The mighty LT has got a bit of news.
LT and co have got a bit of news for the show.
MD Helicopters Goes on Warpath with New Attack Scout | Aviation International News Announcing new orders, Tilton estimated that the company will deliver as many as 50 helicopters this year, primarily to military customers in South America and the Middle East. Her sidekick Joepy knows a few generals down south ;) |
