We have many aircraft come through Mildura, only because there's fuel handy here.
Recently VH-VGG, the Bell430 from Griffin Helicopters (Perth) stopped overnight.
As a female friend described it; "Sex with blades"


This way sir...


would you like the blinds up,


or down? All windows have blinds sir.


You can sit and enjoy,


or listen to some music / DVD?
And yes the panel between the drivers & pax slides up for privacy, just any normal limo!


Plenty leg room,




The drivers are not left out,


See ya.

"Griffin" as in Griffin Helicopters Perth?

Any idea what it's to be used for? It looks like a corporate machine now, but a quick change of interior and who knows....?

Pohm,

Griffin Helicopters Perth, Rick Stowe's new wheels. I think it is primarily for corporate op's

Did you happen to catch the callsign?

The amount of legroom in there is impressive. I'd hate to imagine the cost per hour though.

[Uncle Chop Chop]

Very nice, just need to add rocket pods on the sides and change the callsign to 'Airwolf'

[CYHeli]

UCC, Airwolf was a Bell222.
This is the upgraded Bell430.
Big difference,
You silly man!
Can I use any more smilies in this??

The original was a '222.
That's like comparing the original Blues Brothers with BB2000.
It just doesn't work!

What is the difference between a pigeon and a stock trader?
A pigeon can still make a deposit on a BMW!

If you say so old chap

Short final into mildura.

Didn't stay long as we had to do a night leg to South Australia. They say only bats and twats fly at Night ,How right they are.

[helothere]

Geeze, you could have at least tried to get it lined up on the centreline before taking a photo of finals... I guess you changed your mind about all that Cat A stuff and decided on a non standard heli approach to that big white hangar huh?

[agent 99]

Well we thought that we had the biggest Helicopter in town so we would just do what we wanted.HEHEHEHE

[CYHeli]

Big white hangar empty since Qantas left!
Hey '99, when did you blow though?

[imrb]

what aircraft is that?

[agent 99]

We ferried the Super Puma through there a few months ago.
