Black Bear Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Can anyone recommend a company in Oregon where I can get some 500 time? I'd like to know who runs a quality operation and those to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam32 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Applebee used to have a 500, I'm not sure if they still do or are even in business still though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1128 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Applebee used to have a 500, I'm not sure if they still do or are even in business still though... There used to be a lot of negative posts about Applebee on this site. While I have never flown with them, I have tried to deal with them and was not impressed. You might try western Helicopters in California. They have an excellent rep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocarsgo Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Check out Precision Helicopters in Newberg, OR. They are an MD Service Center, they specialize in flying the 500. I've seen multiple 500's including 520's in the shop at one time. They have multiple courses turbine transition training, external load, mountain flying.

500F Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Are you looking to buy time or some kind of employment? Sunset in aurora has one. Nice looking ship, Tony is a nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Bear Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks everyone for your input. I've never looked at PJ's site before, what a great collection of A/c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
