Old Bell Mediums

Also XDM..... from days gone by

 

One thing that you have to remember is that the military way of doing business doesn't work for operating older helicopters. The commercial civilian operator has a vested interest in the helicopter getting up and going to work each and every day. If it doesn't go to work, he doesn't have a job.
