Goldy Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Gentlemen, I need a "1000 Hr+" Bo105 Pilot to do a minimum of 20 hours of dual instruction in SoCal. I'll provide the Helicopter, fuel, etc. If interested, and available to do this training between 16 april and 24 april 2012, get in touch with me ASAP. Thanks, Hammer Maybe send an email to Chuck? He's the only BO 105 guy around. Not sure if he's a CFI or not, but you couldnt be learning from a better pilot on the 105. He's based at CMA. You can reach him thru his linked in site.

JDHelicopterPilot Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Chuck is your best bet. However, if that doesn't work out then call CALSTAR. You can let me know and I will get you in touch with a pilot from CALSTAR who can hopefuly find you a BO instructor who can help. JD 1 Quote

JDHelicopterPilot Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Let me ask some of my friends if they know him. What's his last name, do you know? Quote

JDHelicopterPilot Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 My friend at CALSTAR emailed SIM to let him know you were trying to reach him. Good luck! 1 Quote
gary-mike Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 JD, I ended up getting ahold of a live person at CalStar today, so I should be in good shape now. Thanks for the help though, very very appreciated. Goldy, I followed-up with Chuck Aaron today, ……"Blown Away" would be the best descriptor. The guy knows his bird, and knows the environment (insert a big "No Sh_t dude" here). Thanks for the Intel, I'll keep you posted on the final result! Needless to say: it was a good day. http://WOW, It don't get better than that! I agree on the "no sh_t" statement, doubt you will find anybody the knows and can operate the ship any better. Quote
Falko Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 I doubt you will find anybody who knows and can operate the ship any better. In the US, maybe. Internationally no. Go on YouTube and look for charly Zimmerman or rainer wilke. They perform such flying since the 70s or 80s in the Bo 105. Quote

This Charley Zimmerman? http://www.military.com/video/military-aircraft-operations/crash-landings/charlie-zimmermans-fatal-crash/663171869001/ He won't be easy to get a hold of. Quote

Great guy, he would stop by just to chat with whoever was flying that day. Good luck on the training, glad you hooked up with him. Goldy 1 Quote

Goldy Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 How could you tell it was Calstar? Guess it could have been owned by Blue Cross !!! 1 Quote
B-Hill Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Call Jerry Trimble @ jerrytrimblehelicopters.com he has a bunch of 105 time. Amazing teacher! Quote

THE_COYOTE Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 What are you using the aircraft for? I flew one doing EMS for a while, to bad it was at 5000' and couldn't fly in the snow! Quote
Falko Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Iam guessing more low level- low heart rate flying ? Quote

JDHelicopterPilot Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I forgot to tell you there is a BO105 based at KLGB. Been a while so I am not sure if it is still there. Think it was with Customs or DEA. 1 Quote
