I just happen to stumble upon this group. I started this back in the mid 90s. We had to do a call for votes and have people out there vote to allow this group to come into existence. Hard to believe it's still in existence with lots of people using it. Glad to see it still around. Happy flying...

Im not sure if anyone heard of this person. He was the designer of MINI-500 and many excellent pilots died in this product. I want to let you know that this person is still alive He married an asian girl and living in China right now. I have been seen this videos online.

What is normally the maximum range of a medevac helicopter? I ask because I'm on a cruise liner that was about 600 miles off the west coast of Portugal last night when a passenger had to be evacuated because of a medical emergency.
