Rotary:
Nothing special - yet! But if anyone as a spare left seat on a long trip, let me know. :)

Fixed-wing:
Thruxton - Glasgow - Reykjavik - Narssarssuaq - Goose Bay - Quebec - Syracuse - Indiannapolis - Mena, Arkansas delivering a Siai Marchetti SF.260. Then (after a change of aircraft to a C172) on to Dallas to catch a flight home.

When I was about 10, I flew from the top of my garage, but unfortunately it ended in a hard landing:( :D :(

But it must have been a good landing because I walked away!

In an airplane, C172RG, Lake Charles, La to Elmira, NY and back.

In a helicopter, (S76) Lake Charles to Portland, Ore. as a mech. in the left seat. One of the best trips of my life.

As a float plane pilot & heli pax
 

:D :D :D

Best trip ever !!!

July 03 93, left Montreal and came back early august after
63 hrs of flying to Blanc Sablon Quebec, stoping occasinnally
fishing the lakes and rivers. Fabulous trip we were two C-180
on floats each with a partner.

Heli was YVR to Whisller for a day of skiing in a A350.

;) ;) ;)

I've flown most of the trip mentioned in thread 1, Belize to Columbia. Met some interesting guns and their owners. Use cigarettes as bribes and don't flash the dollars, especially in Nicaragua. Fuel quality can be poor!!

Colorado Springs, Co. to Heidelberg, Ge.

From Marseille (france)- Zwolle (holland)

Zwolle (holland) - Poniatowa ( eastern Poland)

in a EC 120 b
;)

German I know once flew from Benalla to Tenterfield (1032 klm) in a ASW 20 - that's a glider!

Only landed 'cos he was thirsty!

The retrieve took four days!:D

Not the longest distance, but the longest overall ache: Hiller 12E, gaggle of four, from Culdrose to Nuremberg (sp?) and return. Took a day each way to get from Culdrose to Manston :eek: And of course, rubber boats had to be worn for the Channel crossing, which took up 90% of all available baggage space for the rest of the trip :rolleyes:

4 days each way, IIRC, and numerous stops to recover. Memorable was the flight of F-104G's that cruised by under us, fortunately we were at a nose bleeding 500 feet..........

Not the longest for the helo (collapse to hosp--- 8 miles /4 minutes) but the patient went from Heaven (flat line) to Earth (he walked out a week later)

Just one is worth it all!

On an airplane bound to nowhere.
 

On a DC-8- 63 Combi from Dallas-Ft Worth to Tehran, Iran via Bangor, Maine and Frankfurt, Germany.

:cool:

record distance helicopter ferry flight
 

well first my humble apologies to "Heli"....hello Ken...yes , still in China (sunny Hainan Island at the moment). Heli was indeed on board and have fond memories of him supplying numerous coffees to we drivers up front. ..to keep us awake. Hell , it was a long trip.....what an adventure.

HOWEVER...I dont think it is a record....I have heard that there may have been a longer ferry by another 61 possibly Court ???

Just to add to the story....in 1991 , Blaine Foreman , myself and Mike Senuik/Bob ? ferried another 61 from Vancouver to Bombay.

Now it will never happen but if I cud ferry another 61 from Singapore to Vancouver (EAST thru Russia....it has been done twice by Rod Legassick) then I will have circumnavigated the world in a 61.....dreaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

490 nm on one tank of fuel = A119 Koala.
Athens to Amsterdam with only two refuel stops. Not a record I know but that's what we did one day this year

Certainly not a record but an S61 from Aberdeen to Andoya and back via Tondheim and several other stops as a civvy supporting the Navy. The distance was extended as usual because they told us where they thought they were and then we had to find the b*ggers!
Having had the plank transplant, just did a butt numbing 2 crew 9:45 from Manilla to Dubai.
Mind you, on the 61 it was Bill and Ben (Pete Garland and Ray Smith) keeping the tea and bikkies going. Not as pretty as the present cabin crew but the jokes were good!:D
Happy landings!

Here Goes!

Luxembourgh-Colmar-Bern-Milan-Brindisi-Athens-Izmir-Ankara-Trabzon-TBlisi-Baku. 7 Days and lots of fun. Between FL100-120. In an S76A++.

20.5 hours flight time. Loved it.

Cheers, :eek: OffshoreIgor :eek:
