Just listened to ATC and watched the flight path a couple minutes ago. I'm sure they're throwing a party over there.

No problem! I figured I might as well give the fleet chart a little update (N972PC was still missing from it, too). Cleaned up some formatting and wording while I was there.

Hopefully we'll get to see some more of Copter 11 soon. I wonder if it's too soon for it to be at the Miramar Airshow this weekend.

anyone have any contacts at ASTREA? It appears all of mine have retired now. Want to add photos of the 407's and Hueys to my PhotoBucket album.

CBS 8 did a segment on Copter 11: http://www.cbs8.com/story/30218441/coun ... helicopter

Interesting thing mentioned at the end of the video is that they want to eventually expand the fleet to 5 helicopters. That would definitely be great.
