I personaly dont think that the principals and all the others that will use this fine machine will get the full punch they deserve out of it with a pilot enginer.Its a much complicated machine,and will certainly need lots of tweeking because of its newness,is that a word?to get all the little quirks out of it.I can remember many a day comeing back from Pt. Hawksbury or the plant at Arashatt, not sure about the spelling landing just at dark,having a snag or two on the longranger. I would call the enginer and he would come and fix it Id meet him early the next morning do a ground run or whatever and we would be on our way to the downtown helipad in Dartmouth right beside the store,pick up John,Colin,and crew and be off to the plant in Yarmouth.That will not happen with a combo driver.In the good ole days that was pretty normal.Today I believe one of those jobs will suffer.Niether can suffer in aviation.Just my point of view.Ya cant fly all day and fix all nite.I sure like flying all day.Is this machine gona be new?Why a 427. I used to fly Donald Trumps old corporate 222 on retracts.I think it would make a much nicer machine for what John, Colin,and crew would like.Cheaper to operate and acquire too.Have a good day Mini.

Yes that was her.It was not too long after it got painted down in Digby that I left Clearwater maybe 9 months or so. It used to be a nice machine when I flew her.My son who was 7 at the time really liked flying in her.OOOOO the good ole days.I still once a year order 75 lbs of mussels 1500 to 2000 dollars worth of live lobbies and fly them out here to host one of the best darn hangar parties ya ever saw.This years party is March 20 if any of you wish to attend.Have a good day eh!

Is this a 2 4 1 deal or should we expect the pay to start at 75000 + for pilot duties and a add-on for the extra duties?

Try 2.66 USD base price, probably near 4.0 all decked out.
Who did they hire to drive the beast?
