translift → fly911: Hey Mike. I'm in Fort Myers at the moment on the final few days of our powerline job here in FL. I saw some Mosquito control guys out today and made me think of you! If I get towards Tampa I will try to get in touch. Moving up to Sarasota tomorrow.

- mwest29 That's quite worrying - I think they can field more aircraft then most developing countries! As long as they are only armed with cans of Red Bull :)

Depends on the work I guess. I have flown in a schweizer at 40kts at night doing full downs with my chief pilot. In the work I do now (R44) doing external load, we call it quits at about 25kts or over. When I release empty mats from my hook, I run the risk of them being blown into my tail rotor. It gets pretty twitchy in a 44 at those wind speeds too.

I am fairly comfortable flying in higher winds, so as I said earlier, depends on the work being performed.

I agree 100%. I got my current job by knowing a guy who knew the owners very well. I didn't have any Robbie time at all and I still got the job.

350 hours is a hell of a lot more than I have. I agree, a helicopter is a helicopter. Once you can start the engine, I don't see the difference either. Hopefully you'll hear back from them.

I like to surf, snowboard, kiteboard, play the digeridoo. I also do a lot of bone carving. Check out my website.
