Make sure whoever flies it home has a 5 gallon of fuel with them...just your luck to run low and not be able to find a station to stop at.

 

Hahaha....and 3 of us will be sharing hours on the way home in it. That way hopefully we all have a good start on building hours on type.

 

Hey all. Hope you all had a good day. That's quite a road trip Ian, and it'll be a trek home with that new bird. Had to look it up - that's a nice looking machine - that's the EC175, right?

 

Good morning BC, happy Tuesday!

Oooooo....a new toy! Be sure to post pics, Ian!

 

Good MOrning Ian and all of BC.

 

Good morning BC...and...wandering postitutes!!! I think Ian should let us each borrow his toy for a weekend.

 

Good morning BC..

That thing has a big seating capacity, nice looking bird too..

 

Morning all. 48 hours until we're off to Daytona. Based on the wet and dark morning here in North Van I'm very much looking forward to getting out of here for a while.

 

Morning BC

 

Morning Dave and MIchelle.

 

Hello.
Quick lunch break.
We are eating lunch at 10am according to my internal clock....darn time changes.


EC helicopters does not exist any more.
Airbus bought them out about 5 years ago and has made many great improvements to the Eurocopter brand.

The new H175 is state of the art in the helicopter world.
Its flies faster than most, and has a much greater range between fuel stops....mine also has the optional long range tanks.
The avionics are cutting edge technology and the autopilot system in cruise flight is incredibly cool.

Have a great day guys and gals.

Afternoonand enjoy lunch Ian.

 

Hello again from Texas.
Evening 2 here.
I miss my own bed and the lady who lays beside me in it.

 

Good morning Ian and the BC crew! Look at it this way, Ian. It's probably a lot warmer down there!
