That sounds like pretty good value! @Ryan_Songhurst

I reckon James looks after his clients especially once you have used him a few times, but I have been impressed with his service and prices from day one and despite what some naysayers may say I have always felt real safe with him and any of his pilots and have been in a few sketchy situations!

Just looking back through accounts as got heli in a few months back to chuck some fert on as it was too wet for a truck, $1200/hr for jetranger plus ground crew and bucket hire charge and I believe the jetranger is on par with md500 for maintenance and running costs?

Was close to that with ground crew etc but still a way off 18-1900/hr

That bloody cheap for a JetRanger....not uncommon to be quoted $1400/hour for an R44 for one off casual hire.
