Heard about this plane 4 years ago when Kobe died.

I had no idea this is what he rode in. I was looking this one up because the AMO (Customs and Border Protection) fly this copter. That’s interesting to learn

Each engine delivers 1,077 pounds of thrust? It's not a jet. It's a helicopter. What you meant to say is that each engine delivers 1,077 shaft horse power.

It's not a bad price. The 76 b we went to the drilling rig had face forward bench seating. And a lot of vibration. Air Logistics. Venice Louisiana. LA hwy 23 would take you to Venice out of Belle Chase. Marathon platform South Pass 89 Baker. Ray Baidon, Roy Arabie were our Company men for Marathon. Ray was the field supervisor. supervisor
