Yes it is a brand new S-76 'D' model. C/N:761015. TT is the first to operate this type in the region.

It was purchased in the US so it would have a US Reg'n. It shall be registered '9Y' soon.

whats the procedure in learning to fly one of these?

is it that you train with something like a R22, R44's then as experience comes you move on the S76's

too old now to think of it as a career but would still love to learn....

once you can afford the training go for it...you can learn to fly in anything of your choice depending on how deep your pockets are. Learing to fly is the easy part...getting a job and working with @#$%^ is the challenge!

It's sad that NHSL no longer does the 'fly past' at the savannah for Independence Day. No other paint scheme represents our national colors better than NHSLs' birds.

Does that chart give the actual meaning or is that just the call signs over radio to identify letters.

The 9YLAS is that an old chopper? It smells.
