surplus helicopters?

My only helicopter maintenance experience was MH-53's, and 8 hours isn't even remotely close.

Lordy, what a beast; sweet!

Am I seeing that right:

- it's got a stabilizer opposite the tail-rotor?!

Multiply that by 4 and you are getting close.

Whew

Way worse than I guessed.

Hopefully the new airframes are easier on that number.

Horizontal stabilizer
That location keeps it up and out of the way.
A lot of things get loaded in that. Vehicles included


The tail rotor is tilted a bit as it actually aids in lift.
