This is a very significant increase, what is the life limit of a main rotor blade? Do they have many problems?

15000 hours.

 

Not many problems. Might visit the blade shop a few times during its life.

120 bucks an hour for the blades alone! That's crazy.

Jim,

This works out to about a bottle and a quarter of Lagavulin per hour. What would you rather have??? (although you can't lift too many Datsuns to Ape Lake with Scotch)

No offense, but that is a very silly question when you think about it!

[marc]

my personal prediction is that Transwest will buy up Black Tusks assets, and will operate efficiently for 43 days when GSHL will borrow 423.4 billion dollars and buy the assets of the newly formed BlaskWestTransTusk conglomerate and run them into the ground in a trendsetting 93 weeks.

 

 

oh just kidding of course......good companies adapt and survive.

 

Hahahahhahahahaha
