Question Buying A New Helicopter
At present I run a BELL222 helicopter for business/pleasure. I use it for long trips to various sites we develop. Its a 5 passanger but looking to change to something newer with a bit more space. The bell 222 is a great helicopter. Anyone else use one? Or have any suggestions??

LOL Peter.. haha.. no copter here either. It would be nice though but license, insurance and hanger cost will kill my budget for other toys.

Thats the same as mine, just different in color. The bell is a very reliable machine. Mine is 1994 and the only mod it has was the seating was converted for more space. Running cost is generally high, to break it all down it works out around $800 an hour to keep while in flight!
