Post #5603, I'm rather surprised to hear that Simrik are selling their 407GXP because it "...didn't work up high & cargo space near zero." I know of this helicopter and despite it's stated "VIP config" it does not have a heater or air conditioning therefore the empty weight can't be that great! So why doesn't it work "up high"? As for cargo space - the baggage compartment is generally sufficient for a VIP helicopter - so what are Simrik carrying, or attempting to carry, in theirs? Remember, VIP helicopters should not be used as "cargo" carriers, particularly in the cabin. I suspect there's more to this "sale" than performance and cargo space

Almost see blue clouds today so the aircraft might be able to get at some of the fires in the Snowy Mts, well hills compared to Nepal.
