I used to work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico in the late 70's-early 80's and rode PHI a lot... Thanks for the memorys!!! Most often in 206 or 206L's, but also 212's, 214's, 412's, and a S-76. May not all of them PHI. The S-76 was brand new and all gloss black.. on the way backfollowing the beach from Aransas Pass we ran into 3 ArmyblackHawks going somwhere and the race was on!! The pilot said we were doing 200 Kts!! We were about a quarter mile abreast and flow probably 15 minutes like that. We landed in Galveston at the airport instead of the heliport and came in like a airplane... no hover. The crew let us out and popped the engine cowls to let her cool down! Lots of fun times back then. Mike
