Although you will have "turbine" time, employers are looking for turbine time inan aircraft that can carry people/long line..etc. That you are getting the experiance of working the helicopter. If you and someone else had the same hours, and turbine time, but he had it in a 206 or a 500, I bet I...

Wow, sounds like such a great day! Congrats Kevin! :-) Isn't it wonderful when everything comes together? Ok, so you had a sloppy one. The important part is that you reacted properly and didn't bend the bird. It's all part of the learning experience. Question: Maybe I'm reading you too...

Thanks for the memories of the good old Texas sun .. Maybe my memory has really faded but for the life of me I only remember the Hiller Killer H23s and a very few of the new Hughes Mattel Toys.

Usually crashes are sheer bad luck, but every now and then it's plain stupidity ! Ooops!!
