Bell Jetranger

I have just started flying this machine this weekend. It is a 5 place helicopter, powered by a turbine , not a piston engine like the little Robinsons that we have been flying. A real pleasure to fly, faster, and far more stable. To date I have done 3 hours , another 17 to go. I will do 85 hours in the Robby(57 done so far), taking it to 105 all up for the licence.
The military school here train only in this aircraft(Beckers have 12 of them), and as the first of the civilian students using it for CPL (Comercial Pilots Licence), they can really only spare one for me on Friday arvos, and weekends.

Andrea took  phone footage of this takeoff on Saturday when the girls came down to the school with me.
