Harmonic_Vibe Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 So... there we were having a whisky (single malt of course - Islay preferably) and somebody thought buying a high performance twin was a good idea... Once sobriety set in (which took several weeks until the whisky ran out), we wondered what we had done... Well, what a stump puller this thing is!! It flies just like a 500 when it comes to longlining... It just sits there in the hover as if it was posing for a painting... truly remarkable aircraft! Bags of power, tons of tailrotor (or equivalent) and if one engine quits you can only do 120 kts!! It's a bit chilly with the door off mind you, but once you're nose is plugged with snotsicles it stops running... anybody have a bubble for sale? HV P.S. Hey Swinnger, are you sure you're sick of flying bags???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrkyle Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 There is an article about it (and VIH as a company) in this month's issue of Vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bag swinnger Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hmmm.....aahhh.....hmm...Well.. I wouldnt mind doing a tour or two on that beater, but I kinda have my heart set on a 212 and lots of Salmon fishing this year. The guy's have been warning me that the fishing gig will be hard on my liver, and then there was quite a bit of talk about the college girls and...oh never mind the answer is no... unless of course there is no one else. Do you think you could find it in your heart to at least let me take it out for a couple of hammer heads. PS: what can she lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ame206350 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I took a burn in that machine when Eurocopter took it on its sales tour last summer. I wish we bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I should warn you that we've decided to make all the fishing lodge tours "dry" to help alleviate the onset of early cirrhosis that is plaguing the industry... And no fishing either!!! HV P.S. Have fun!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun!!!! Ok, I see where you are going with this and the answer is still no... I have been swamped with studying & exams this year already for the Jet Ranger, II, III, Long Ranger, L1, L3, AS350, BA, B2, FX, 212, -3, -3B and now your talking 407 and EC135 with another Medium endorsement this fall!...I think you better start hiring some more guys to keep up with all the new machines that you have coming in... Who's ever heard of a dry fishing lodge anyway... Good luck with that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonic_Vibe Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Speaking of EC135 porn, I love these shots. And, Mr. Swinnger, you can always replace the water in a whole case of bottles with Vanilla Vodka like I did in the middle-east...
