rolling over
Morning Tim. I hate to hear that. Glad they are still smaller ones using them. The winds I'm sure are bad most of the time. I believe Walt was saying the Company had trouble with the profits, and that was a reason as well. I watch the program on encore-Dish, the Helli-Loggers, and they are always saying the 107 vertol(46), they are using costs 15 thousand Bucks an hour to operate, and it would be really rough to make it profitable. The Bird thats in the picture is still in service and Flying good. Thats incredible. We Flew close to 10-12 hours a day, or turning, and I've said earlier, thats close, or over 200,000 Dollars a Day. We set the Gov. back a lot of money if thats the case. Parts, and Maintenance included in it too. It would be good if another Defense Secretary decided to approve the program Lurch was mentioning, a newer version of the 46 with composite material, and bigger engines and blades, maybe a longer body as well. The 22 wouldn't be so bad if it could auto-rotate, and parts were ready avaliable. Not sure if thats the problem with up time or not. I think I heard that was one of them. Hope you do have a very Good day, with Family and all. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
