Sexual Chocolate Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Helidude, Even a brick will fly when its barreling down a mountain side! With more than half the blades missing (if not more), its no wonder the A/C landed Hard! :hide: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Another 212 story...on my last 212 job the A/C on departing an offshore rig one of the power turbines shed its blades with 8 SOB and 2800 lbs of fuel the crew elected to fly 90 miles the A/C back to base. After inspecting the A/C after landing there where holes in the T/R blades and still a few peices of turbine blades. :elvis: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Croucher Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 You want one or two sugars, cap? The link from Elvis won't work because we now don't deal with large book chains, although we have no problem with small independents.

Zazu Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 All wonderful events granted, but would any of you fly those aircraft after said defects occurred?! In keeping with my above synopsis I will keep the question(s) simple....1)how did it happen? ('kind of important) 2)LESSONS LEARNED!!!! (more imprtant ?!) -'love the stories, just an "old " low timer", ZAZU PS . How the **** do these so called "emoticons" work? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cap Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Albert Ross ------no sugar at all and if I do another reccomendation for you, then the price goes up.........that'll be "dead chickens and burnt pig" to go with that "latte"....even if you "write that off" to 'Misc. Entertainment Expenses' at tax time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
