How do I find a Bell 47...
....to get a little stick time? I'm a newbie (about 180 hours split
between the 300C and the R22) and I would dearly like to buy a helicopter. No justification at all -- just a huge fascination with helicopters. I think my short list includes a Robinson or a Bell 47. But I've never flown a Bell and don't know a lot about them, such as real operating costs, onerous ADs, availability of parts and mechanics who really know them (in northern California). I'm not even sure where to start. I did take a 1-hour lesson in an F28 but the instructor seemed like a goof, and I'm not sure I got a good intro to that ship. I'm in the SF Bay Area at the moment, though I will end up in far northern California in a couple years. Cheers, Mike |
