193kts. That it due to structural limits but believe me that's fast enough when you're 30 ft above the ground and maybe ten feet above that palm tree that just went by. Lot's of fun flying that way though. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Nothing like screaming up the Potomac river at 50 ft AGL and 190 kts.

Or hanging halfway out of the hellhole while doing a external lift.

Or hovering off the Virgina Beach boradwalk checking out the girls.

Or.....

Welcome aboard.

FYI your helicopter PIC time counts toward your comercial liscense.

It may be easier to get you comercial rotorcraft with instrument (should be a no brainer), then add on your fixed wing ratings. Then you'll be dual rated, and can go anywhere.

Unfortunaly many airlines don't count any helo time toward their mininmums. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]
