| Jake Kegris Richmond, VA | Hard to believe it has been 15 years since. Crews that included an acceptance test pilot, tech inspectors and ferry crews made monthly trips to Arlington Tx to pick up 5 or 6 aircraft. Airframes were built in Canada and flown to Texas unpainted with minimum navigation and commo radios. They were then finished to delivery specs at Premier Aviation, inspected, flown and accepted for the flight to Fort Rucker. Still keep a picture of the 001 aircraft in front of the hangar with the acceptance crew, DCMA reps and the Fort Rucker DOL Director on my desk. 12/30/2008 @ 02:22 [ref: 23375] |
| David Hatcher Dothan, AL | N67001 is the first TH67 procured under a off the shelf, non-developmental, commercial procurement for a primary and instrument training helicopter for the US Army Aviation Center, Ft Rucker. N206TH was one of two Bell Textron owned demostrators used during the evaluation and subsequent factory training at Hurst, TX. The Navy TH57, although again a Bell 206BIII, was procured over 10 years earlier thus the Army TH67 was not a "add on" to that contract. The photo of N67001 was taken at Premier Aviation who performed the "missionazation" under subcontract to Bell prior to acceptance by the Army. Shortly after the photo was taken, 01C and N67025 departed to Cairns AAF, Fort Rucker AL. 01C was flown by CW4 Jake Kegris and DAC David Hatcher and N67025 (the third TH67, second VFR version) was flown by DAC Jim Carey 11/23/2006 @ 15:58 [ref: 14831] |
| Guy E. Franklin Deatsville, AL | The Bell TH-67 is a 206 variant used in rotary pilot training for the US Army and Navy, with the naval variant being designated the TH-57. It was selected for Army training in 1993, and the initial purchase was for 157 airframes. The Navy purchased 320 airframes, and have had over 1 million flight hours without a class A accident, on top of a 90% daily availability rate.
