klmmarine Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Great pics as usual Dp. I really like the 407, the A109, and even the Astar, but there is something about the 500 that just makes me drool. Guess its because that was my first love. TC's Island Hoppers MD500D. Anybody else have the same reaction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copter doctor Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yep! Nothing like a 500. I noticed the front left gear fairing is missing, is that for the utility work baskets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the front left gear fairing is missing, is that for the utility work baskets? sorry for the delay on this answer.. crazy busy at the hangar.. yes, they removed the fairing for better viz, they said that it doesn't make a lot of diff on the 100' line but on the 50 it gives them about 4' more vis at the bottom.. dp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
