Interesting, the 205 I flew in the mid 80s had dual hydraulics and a flip-flop tail rotor.

Who did it belong to AC, for what was it used, registration?
You don't see many of these, Hueys with drop tanks, forget how much they held, some aircraft had the 1400lb main tank, some 1,700, could fly all day almost. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....e7db046d36.jpg |

I'll see your Second and raise you with a First - I flew the first B412, serial number 1, up on Horny Island. Sadly it has gone to the junkyard in the sky since then.
Sorry, thread drift. |
Who did it belong to AC, for what was it used, registration? The original enquiry came to the Polair crew room in Dec 86, asking "Who is most recent on a Huey?" Two of us had flown them, and I was the more recent being 4 years since the last go, trumping Chucky who was at 7 years. But funny how the checklist just flowed out of my memory, Hatches, Harness, Heaters, Electrics, Fuel quantity, pressure and selection, Instruments in limits, lights out, Audio, Auto, Full throttle, and 6600 (though on this one it said 100%). Still remembered it in 2001 when I was back in another Huey. That same checklist can be applied to almost any machine, even used it as a final check in the S76. |
Thanks AC, 205A-1 serial 91, now N205PT belonging to a trustee Oklahoma City.
