Nostalgia: I was 6 months old my first trip in the jetranger. The 206 will bring you home to your wife and kids everynight, and if you let her down, she will sacrifice herself and still probably bring you home without a scratch on you.

We have a saying here about eurocopter products. Fun to look at fun to fly but roll it up your going to die.

I haven't flown one but my favorite machine from what I know about them has to be the Agusta 119 Koala.

It has to be the GAZELLE. Looks, speed and superb handling qualities

Moreover….. A navel Gazelle resplendently re sprayed in metallic green

A pilot would get a belly laugh from flying those. They're a bit slow, though.

yours was red when it was delivered have you painted it ?

The president of the US's S-70. Best crash worthiness and best MMH/FH.

Great photos!

I never dreamt when I chose Subaru World Rally Blue for Gazelle G-HTPS that it would end upon three of them, and also 4 A109s, an EC135 and one Rotorway Exec at the last count. What a great colour - it just looks so good without any stripes or other such nonsense.

Right tool for the right job...
 

Fav's I've flown, B206 and Five Hundy'.:D
What I dream of flying... A109 E/S:ok:
Been for a ride in a 109 with John E years ago, but never got my hands on the controls 'tho.

there is another one in the paint shop now an ex mil version

steve

I don't understand why people paint ex war birds ciovil colours - I personally feel the Gazelle looks best in its British Army colours, the blue civi one is nice to, but if i were to own a Gazelle i'd leave it in British Army Military Markings for sure.


My wish list would read Ex Mil Gazelle, Bo105, UH1H, maybe a lynx too if they ever get sold on! Civil chopers - Squirell

Started in an R-22, then B206, H269, A109C, A109E and now AW139.

The 139 is an awesome brute of a helicopter, even dressed up in corporate trim, and I do love flying it but the one I miss most is the B206.

We did powerline patrols in a BIII some years ago and called it 50/50 flying - 50kts at 50ft, if it quit, you got a 50/50 shot! An ex-mil instructor once told me the most important thing to know about the 206 is "how far you can f*** it up and still save it!"

Gazelle!!

The 365 would be nice, and a BO 105

The Alouette is good too

The SA365Fi Dauphin ll ALL the way! That scream alone. And in the Irish Air Corps coulours..................http://www.irishairpics.com/images/i...140703_26F.jpg

Never mind the "Whistling Chicken Legs"
 

It has to be the roar of the mighty Nimbus !!

yours was red when it was delivered have you painted it ?


it was red for its first 2500 hrs then it went green in 2003.

All of them, any of them :)

CGRWA,

Can you explain this...

'We have a saying here about eurocopter products. Fun to look at fun to fly but roll it up your going to die.'

How does one roll up a heli?

I guess the old adage "if you have to ask.." applies here ;-)

No, still dont get it. Is it something to do with crashing helicopters? Im going flying now to test the theory, smoke me a kipper.
