Arh, come on now, I'm looking to shamefully increase my post count here guys.

Ok a couple of clues, it weighs less that three tonnes and has a top speed of 150 mph.

1.2 mpg and 200 ltrs/hr = c60 mph.  Not as fast as I thought  >:D. ... or involves a lot of hovering - what do you actually use it for?

It had been a long day by the time I posted figures.  We work on weight for obvoius reasons.  The burn rate is 200kgs per hour so should say 250 litres as aviation fuel has a weight of approx 0.8kg per litre. we curise at 120kts (138mph) and so should have said 2.5 mpg.  Doh!  :-[

We only tend to hover on take off and landing.  The rest is done at 120kts to ensure the boss arrives on time.

I know I'm lucky to fly helicopters, but there are times that you might as well be in a pimped up MPV with blacked out windows.  It's just another way of getting from a to b.

At least the lucky owner has the good sense to hire a professional pilot rather than fly/crash it himself ...

But then again, we don't know what type of driver you are ?!!  >:D  )
