Firehawk Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 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.

204B Driver Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 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 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG Limited Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 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! NG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
