New version of the H125 (AS350) to park in confined hangar
 

Blue blades, short exhaust stack, no heat shield.......it ain't no h125 aka as350b3e. Interesting way to fold her up for improved stowage in the hangar though :\ 10 points for effort (not) :eek:

The twisted "tale" of a tilt rotor having been given head.....

It was only a matter of time and his flying habits would catch up with him

New episode of Planet Earth BBC
 

.
When in danger ( If a British pilot approaches him for example :}), the French squirrel (scientific name H125 or AS350) uses a defense mechanism common to certain animals : the anatosis which is a behavior in which animals take on the appearance of being dead.

It's not dead, it's resting..

Its pining for the fjords.......

It's bleeding demised..

Minor assembly required!

Do you want it in the book?

Do you want it in the book?

Corallary to that question is " If you don't write it up, it didn't happen".

Now, what happened to the fuel cap???

Was the Pilot and Passengers hurt......the helicopter was black and blue!

Right. So, one of those debriefings with the CP over coffee, where this is no coffee.

Perhaps it had been previously used for a wingover.
... I'll fetch my coat...

That's why they call it the tail BOOM.

The write-up on the MR said "Blue blade obstructing pilot's vision."

come on guys it must be a naval version with folding blades and tailbone

"Damn - The warranty ran out just yesterday!"

Damn i knew i shouldn't have left it out in the sun all day .....

pilot to mechanic ....I found it like that, did you do the maintenenace properly ?

Mechanic to pilot "That is NOT how I gave it to you...."

Crikey! You guys crack me up, too much coffee snorting for me for one day.

Tech Log Entry: Slight unevenness in Tip Path Plane at Ground Idle.

Corrective Action: Could not replicate.

I see nothing that can't be fixed with a couple of rolls of gaffer tape and a hammer.

And that seems to be a private operation but sometimes there something more dangerous than a debriefing with the CP : a debriefing with the wife or husband (Edit) around a tea but with no tea ! :E
Edit to correct my mysogine side !
.

Perhaps IKEA have started selling helicopters now ? Love to see the self build instructions for that one when it comes flat packed.

It is obvious what happened here, clearly the right skid was a bit faster than the left :}

Why was the blade folding kit only put onto one blade?

Irish Tilt Rotor?

I think we need to leave humor to the professionals and stick to flying.

Indeed, Americans should always leave humour to the professionals :E

Good grief @Bell_ringer, you just inflicted another coffee snorting episode on me...

At last some input from AH.

Yes, as you said of us .... we know...."Over sexed, Over paid, and Over here!"

Right?

But as we have said of you lot since...."Under sexed, Under paid, and Under Eisenhower!"

Who knows....some of you are old enough we might actually be Cousins.

? What are you on about.

Who says the yanks don't have a sense of humour?

They elected Forrest Trump as president, didn't they?
