It is a good pic...I enjoyed it and thank you very much!!

That aircraft probably cost in the neighborhood of $500K (WAG on my part, but helo's ain't cheap!). Not cheap to operate, either.
Most are corporate owned or leased.

Looks like an older Enstrom, depending on how many hours on it, and how it is equipped, my guess is it is worth around $100k.

The value drops substantially, if they are pretty much out of hours and need to be overhauled. And the value would also increase substantially if it was just overhauled. This is because a major overhaul can cost $50k-$70k, or more.

You can spend $2k a month, to make the payments, insurance, maintenance, hangar rent, and fuel costs, for a basic certified helicopter. But, I have known guys who do manage to do it for less.

Agreed on the Enstrom and the 100K is a more likely value. I've been flyin em for a living for many years now, and would love to own one.....but it'll never happen!!

Nice little chopper--The tail number returns to a 1964 Brantly B-2B. Would be nice to have to annoy the neighbors with when they get out of line (My land is surrounded by houses):laughing:

Thanks, I guess it would have been prudent to actually click on the photo's and see that.

I never see anyone flying anything by any of the lesser know manufacturers around here. It's easy to forget they even exist.

My neighbors are all trying to figure out if I am some kind of secret agent, because I don't go to work, and I have a friend who owns helicopters land, and pick me up, or drop me off. :laughing:

The theme to "James Bond, Agent 007" plays...
