RE: Gov't sale of helis
I have some fed buds who might shed some light. Any idea how cheap it went for?
I've read about an Apache a guy built out of surplus parts, the mil & fed guys gave him a hard time about certifying but relented.
Let me know how & where he's certifying it & if his feds are helpful. The Detroit guys I work with are great, very helpful.
Good to hear he got a deal!

The S-58T is a CH ship. When they buy one or do major maintenance, they take the bird right down to a shell & go over everything. The Huey I ran across in Kansas, bought by a well-off enthusiast who has a good-sized maint. facility that does stuff like the Huey during slow periods. Must be nice...

America better sale some heli's, not only do they need the money, they are also getting their butts kicked in Afghanistan.
