LifeStar's Backup Bell 407 startup and takeoff

[Mrdesertsnake1991]

407's are a real leap for Bell...they WAY outperform the old 206's and their antiquated rotor system...absolutely HATED flying EMS in 406's....

If only they had a car air-freshener called Jet exhaust. The smell oh hot rotors are the best!!!

@2matohead LOL! I love it! I certainly know what you mean, though it's been so long since I've had the pleasure of flying in a turbine heli. I love the recip's too with their cool light blue 100LL fuel. Oh the days of flying the Robby's!

[2matohead]

@stot2614 Yes!!! I only have one total flight hour on the R22 lol
