chopper_guy 20 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Any Bell medium. The best utility helicopter ever made, with nothing else on the horizon to replace it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hazy 96 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 There you go Murdoch... The Bell 407 the Porsche in the sky!!!! :punk: Is that because they both have sh!**@ back seats? Prefer the 350B3, but choose the Lynx. Hazeus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helicopterjim 285 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Doc1.doc Has no one figured it out yet?? Well done damocles. Without this what would we have! (but it still ain't a 214) Time to climb to a height of 9 000 m : 15 min 05 sec Date of flight: 29/04/1975 Pilot: Manuchehr KHOSROWDAD (Iran) Course/place: Ahwaz (Iran) Rotorcraft: Bell 214A (1 Lycoming LTC4B-8D, 2 250 shp) Time to climb to a height of 6 000 m : 5 min 14 sec Date of flight: 29/04/1975 Pilot: Manuchehr KHOSROWDAD (Iran) Course/place: Ahwaz (Iran) Rotorcraft: Bell 214A (1 Lycoming LTC4B-8D, 2 250 shp) Time to climb to a height of 3 000 m : 1 min 58 sec Date of flight: 29/04/1975 Pilot: Manuchehr KHOSROWDAD (Iran) Course/place: Ahwaz (Iran) Rotorcraft: Bell 214A (1 Lycoming LTC4B-8D, 2 250 shp) Altitude without payload : 9 071 m Date of flight: 29/04/1975 Pilot: Manuchehr KHOSROWDAD (Iran) Course/place: Ahwaz (Iran) Rotorcraft: Bell 214A (1 Lycoming LTC4B-8D, 2 250 shp) None of these are absolute records but also none af the are with a 214B wich has an extra 300 or so horsepower. It does not make it the best helicopter but it is a helicopter that sure does a lot - whether you like it or not!! PS I remember taking off from Chilliwack (34 feet) and climbing out to do a topping check on a 214. There was a cloud layer at about 12,000 feet and we had clearance from ATC to 15000 but only a small hole in the clouds. We took off and did a max climb to about 14,500 at which point we got the topping check numbers! then it was a max dive because the hole at 12,000 was closing up. When we got back on the ramp I reset the clock for shut down and noticed that the entire flight - 34 feet to 14,500 to 34 feet was less than 10 miutes. That's a helicopter!!

206Rookie 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I've ferried 206s, a 407, a 430 and a 412. The most fun was certainly the 407 while tree-top flying to Kingston! But I'll be in a 205 next week...I'm guessing I'll have a new favorite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vortex 60 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Is that because they both have sh!**@ back seats? back seats?? who ever rides back there anyway?? I'm flyin a 407 right now and gotta say..pretty cool machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
