Wow, only about 1.5 to 2 million and you're off to the races, if you can
find a helicopter pilot crazy enough to do this. That being said and
having hung out with helicopter pilots for the last few years I can tell
you that there are many crazy enough to do it. Insurance company is
going to have a fit though, boxing the wake would be very interesting.
Low tow is the way to go here but as a former Pawnee tow pilot with
7000 tows and currently flying helicopters myself I can see a lot of
potential for problems. 1. Each tow would probably cost 500 to 750
dollars and that would eliminate discussion of all other problems. IF
Mihai wants to buy a Hughs 500 I'd be willing to give it a try, NOT.
