Helicopters? by
Ol Shy & Bashful
I confess. I'm a rotor winged whore. In spite of the degredation of
this board and the slipping of standards, I keep hoping for things to
improve. Perhaps that is the mantra for a helicopter pilot?
Damn that just made me laugh. Maybe I am good for something after all?
Why has this NG gone south?...

Brand New Bell 47 Spider Still Packed in Cosmoline ---- What's It Worth? by
Larry Smith
And what does it do? It looks to me like it's part of the drive train.
Until I opened the original box and looked inside, it had never been opened
since the 60's when the spider was manufactured by Textron in Fort Worth,
Texas.
The spider belongs to WNC Air Museum, which is selling it.

The Dandenong RSL has acquired an Iroquois from the USA which has now
arrived in Australia and which will soon be mounted on a display pole.
It is 73-21763, construction number 13451.
Can anyone help out with any history of this aircraft or even photographs of

Anybody any idea what's happened to the AAIB report on Colin McRae's
accident?
It doesn't normally take a year to get a report out. There is nothing on the

Oshkosh helicopters by
Stu Fields
Well there was a tip jet (70% H202) ship there with one pilot with 20 min
and a reported other pilot with a few hundred hours...
Sikorsky had a battery powered 269 on display with a duration spec of 15

Safaris, Rotorways and Mosquitos and Larry Neals Butterfly wrapped up the
rotor craft.

little Carter gyrocopter perform a jump takeoff that went from ground to

video where the ship jumped straight into the air and came straight back
down...
