Nice looking machine, who's machine is it?

Just curious looking at the basket, you can't open the right door at all, does that mean it has to have a push out window in an emergency. I know nothing will beat a ski boot anyways, Just curiuos, Beautiful machine. I have one for the winter myself right now and love it.

The machine belongs to Prairie Helicopters out of Gimili Manitoba and leased to Wildcat Helicopters out of Kelowna. I am not a fan of the basket but Ralph Sliger designed it. I like the lower ones like Alpine has. It does have the push out window. I hope that this gives you more info.

[407 too]

i don't have push-out windows, but twice now planters have made a PUSH-IN window by closing the rear door using the the window :down:

 

they did pay us the 2,000.00 per incident :up:

 

 

407 does have a large window, and like everybody else here, pre-flight breifing goes away as soon as they approach the helicopter

Hey 204B Driver,

 

A very nice looking ride! Must be like a real sports car compared to your last ride.

 

Would you be the gentleman flying Delta's 204 on the Smith Creek fire N.W. of Golden in 2003? If so, I can remember a lot of laughs from the various conversations going on in the bucketing circuit.

 

Cheers!
