DecuMajor Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well, here goes nothing. Vega Helicopters, St. Andrews Airport, near the 'Peg. Winter/spring 83/84. Neil Laird and Gerry McArthur (think I got the spelling right) 50hrs in a G2 (oh that was fun when it was -30) and the remaining 50hrs in a 206A. Believe I was getting the Jetbox for about $350/hr. First job at Custom Helicopters late '86 and I've never looked back, well except for a few "interesting" encounters with 412driver and that 204bDude years later. hahahahaha Fly safe kiddies.

GoldMember Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Delta at ZBB in '98 with Keith McMillan in 47's GGB and ISG. You are so right PedalJam, he is a great guy. Hey treetopflyer, was it ISG that used to get that crazy vertical/lateral in the hover if you were to rough with the cyclic? Scared the crap outa me the first time it happened. Taught me to be smoother though! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
