RescueMerc Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Greetings, I am new to the board, and I am not a pilot. I work in Political Business management for a private military corporation for failed states, namely Somalia. We plan on starting operations in Somalia soon and anti-piracy will be part of the contract. We are considering adding a small air component onto the contract, one Helicopter to start. Mission requirements would be the following: Fairly Long range capable. Able to carry two MedEvac Litter patients hard points for weapons mounts able to operate for long periods of time between heavy maintenance in austere conditions Can anyone here make any recommendations, and if so we are especially looking for donationsto the Somalia Govt? They presently have no air capabilities, no planes or helicopters. Here is you chance to assist in fighting terrorism and piracy. We have been considering an Mi-17/8 but they dont come cheap.

arotrhd Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Contact Geocean Limited Nigeria...Nigeria is the happening place and will have all the answers to your needs. For some reason, the first donation that comes to mind is the sort that makes most of the country become a glass parking lot; then, when it cools off, a bunch off pads can be marked and you'll have a nice open ramp area for maintenance and there won't be the aforementioned "austere conditions". An excellent policy change. I mean we haven't helped them out enough. And the appreciation that they have reciprocated over the years has been so touching. -WATCH FOR THE PATTERNS, WATCH FOR THE WIRES- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the Somalis could cobble together at least one helicopter from all of the parts of the helicopters they shot down across their $&*# hole country.

Goldy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Fairly Long range capable. Able to carry two MedEvac Litter patients hard points for weapons mounts able to operate for long periods of time between heavy maintenance in austere conditions Is it just me? I'm thinking an R22 BII would be perfect for this. Strap guerneys to the skids like the old B47's. Hard point weapons mounts could be where the door hinge is, perfect for .22 LR. Little maintenance requirements, low cost, low operating costs....yepp, thats the ship you need. Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
