407 Driver Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Jack B flew it down to the HAI in LAS, and was trying to sell it off for $435,000. I never heard if he caught a buyer or not........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturnman Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 CHl on behalf of Trans Mountain sold the BO 105 last week at HAI for 5% above book, about 454,000 USD. The helo has just undergone extensive engine mods and a cockpit upgrade to a Garmin 430 based system and was bought by a Montana rancher for his personal use. Seems to me that this was a good price for the BO-105; a good performer with Allison reliability. I think the Trans Mtn made a mistake in selling it. BTW, the pipeline will now be patrolled from Both ends: 2 x B206 flying from Kamloops and Fort Mc by CHL equipement and crew. One more thing: there are curently over 500 B206's listed for sale in the US alone; a B206 BII (C18 engine) with mid-time components can be bought for just under $USD 150,000. Mom and Pop operation anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 When did they start putting C-18's in a 206BII ? Last time I checked, the bII had a C-20, and the BIII had a C-20B :shock: The only 206 with a C-18 was either a Kiowa or a 206A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
