YMIA visitors
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.

Re: YMIA visitors
"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....?

Re: YMIA visitors
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.

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

Re: YMIA visitors
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!

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?
