kosmonooit Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 should add "flying dangerously close to powerlines" - what about 5m clearance? French Alouette II circa 1955?

TheRookie Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Ok, shows you what I know about these flying things
Starry nights Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) This one: SE3130 Alouette II. Made in 1960? Edited June 30, 2011 by Aonyx
Danger Dassie Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Could be an Alo II ? ... Still with SAAF markings by the look of it.Those were from the 60s/70s, before my time.
Chubba Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 This one: SE3130 Alouette II. Made in 1060?Yup, back then it was made of stone and wood?
Tumbleweed Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Yup, back then it was made of stone and wood? And used in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Starry nights Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 And used in the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Fixed
amasendeinja Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Yup, back then it was made of stone and wood? Bwahaha nice one Chubba! FFS this slow internet is doing my head in today, can't even get in fast enough to beat someone else to a snappy comeback. If you've ever flown in an Alo, you'll be forgiven for thinking they actually did make them in 1060 with said stone and wood held together with mammoth snot.
Lucky Luke. Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 More to the point, which is lighter, the ASG chopper or the new Dogma? [ducks and runs for cover]
DaLoCo Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Alo's are affectionately known as "Draadkarre". When all the panelling came of it looked like a draadkar...I loved flying in them Edited June 30, 2011 by DaLoCo
