This months flights.. - Gatwicksteve - 02-12-2014
Assigned flights this month took me from Antigua to Anguilla, via St Kitts and St Maarten......a great opportunity to try out one of the newest additions to the TEH fleet, the Milviz Bell 407. Enjoy the ride folks!

Hey Steve.
Very impressive pictures. How is the B407 flying? I am waiting for PMDG's decision how they handle P3Dv2, before I will decide for myself what to do. That's the reason why I won't get the Bell 407 right now as I don't want to buy it twice..
Hopefully you gave the spotters at Maho Beach a good dusting and had a nice smile on your face.
Last week I saw a video of an: go figure what the appropriate wording might be

Nice shots Steve!!! great workhorse for those flights.
RE: This months flights.. - Gatwicksteve - 02-15-2014
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed!
Christian, this is a great helicopter! The handling is very realistic, takes a bit of work with the yaw pedals but Milviz have a programmable force trim switch which makes longer flights much more comfortable! This and the Cera UH60 are the 2 best flying helicopters for FSX I have. I've also recently got the Nemeth EC130 and I have to say I found that one of the most difficult to fly - the controls were way too sensitive (maybe that's just me!), but I've switched the .AIR file for the Nemeth EC135 and now it's fine!
