Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
But today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present.

One of the best colour schemes that I have ever seen on a Gaz.
I had the privilege to fetch her at Warbirds the first week in December.
What a machine!

Re: Gazelle Helicopters
That would be quite expensive.
UK warbirds are much more cost effective to maintain on a Hungarian reg and flown on a Hungarian license.
Unfortunately the standards are below that of the UK regulator. A couple of recent accidents have shown issues and a creative use of spares, on some occasions u/s spares.
Personally would rather fly in a Jabi than an eastern block maintained military helo.
