Rotorhead Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm thinking it was another ship. HJT is currently an EMS machine, and the story I heard was the rotor break fire totally destroyed the helicopter beyond repair. If I'm wrong and it was Tango the AMEs did a wonderfull job putting her back together. :punk: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Helijet has had at least four HJTangoes. Maybe more since I left. The last one I flew was in John Deere colours and converted to a 76 A++ in 2001. One was a glass cockpit machine hit by lightning over Discovery Island. Made for an interesting decsent into Victoria when all the lights went out. RH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotorhead77 Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Ferried the A++ down to PHI a couple of years ago. I think we're also on about our third HJV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecuMajor Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Ah yes, HJ's John Deere reincarnated as a 76. What a bucket of cr@p that thing was. Whoever did the wiring in that machine should've been strangled with a bit of it. Oh and, er, what's the matter with "that" T.C.??? hahahaha (now then, will 412dude take the bait) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412driver Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 nope decu sir....how ARE you doing? you've become a stranger... 204b and i are sad............ on a lighter note....i remember a passenger asking me why the green and yellow. i told him that John Deere had bought out 51% shares of the company. he didn't even flinch, just shrugged and climbed aboard :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to feed the Imodium a few times though, always have a good supply of that in the southern islands. RH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 So much for that business plan then! Back to the S-76 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 So much for that business plan then! Back to the S-76 again. So I take it that the 61 is not being (or will be) operated by Helijet anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canook pilot Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Here one to look at! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecuMajor Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Seriously??? They've sent another 61 packing have they??? At this rate, Papa and Whiskey might just become the first 76's with 50,000 hours on em!!!!! The more things change, the more they stay the same............................ Should be entertaining to see what kind of magic JB comes up with in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
