I recall 9Y-TFU went down somewhere in the northern range (could be wrong). Status unknown.

So how come HWO has no A/C?

The short flights aren't enough for the cabin to even cool down a little bit.. it's like an oven

Make a complaint.

One was due to running out of fuel and the other I thin was engine failure

Yup. 1978, 9Y-TFO (NS-1, TTDF-2): The then National Security Minister John Donaldson, was being flown to Tobago to view the effects of an oil spill following an oil tanker collision. Officially the aircraft ran out of fuel and was forced to ditch, (but), unofficially, since we all know pilots calculate fuel loads with accuracy and precision, all I have to say is RHIPs. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.......

1994, 9Y-TFN (NS-2, TTDF-3) Another aircraft lost all power on approach to the Chaguaramas heliport, and went down close to the shore line.

I recall 9Y-TFU went down somewhere in the northern range (could be wrong). Status unknown.

1996, 9Y-TGU was sold to a private operator in the US (N7448Y) and and the last known civil registration was SX-HDL (Greece). See photo below:

Just browsed and saw a reg number and saying "I read that somewhere"

Helicopter shakes apart on landing

Chuck Norris NOE flying. Please try to ignore the crappy 1970s music.

[NorStar2K]

^^^^Nothing wrong with the 80s music. I was expected to see Shaft at any moment. LOL.

But seriously, the BO 105's rigid rotor head system makes it capable of extreme maneuvers. See the RedBull BO 105.

That said, nothing beats NoE flying. Great find Rory!

In our 40+ year rotary craft history, that's never happened here. Thank God.

This is just to illustrate how easy it is for things to go wrong. Close support work such as this is extremely high risk.
