Flying through

A couple more helicopters from San Jose dos Campos 2011

S300CBi
A training helicopter from Sao Paulo - we waited around for the owner of the school but he was busy giving presentations and didn't come back before we had to leave. But we did talk to a Ricardo Piccoli who sells Enstroms with Aerolink. He learnt to fly on the S300 in Sao Paulo although I'm not sure if it was on this helicopter - but it comes to the same thing dunne it. I'm not sure if it is possible to learn to fly on the Enstrom in Sao Paulo, but apparently it is quite hard to sell helicopters as the generally feeling is I want a helicopter if my friend has one, and I want the same type... Bit of one upmanship by the sound of it.. or perhaps one alongmanship..
This helicopter wasn't strictly speaking at the show, but was over the fence at the military part of the airfield... anyway it seems to be having something done to it but later one of the Squirrels/Astars etc went flying so it was either this one on a test flight or the one next door that is only slightly in the picture.
