The OH-6 has reached speeds in excess of 230knots (264mph), but I wouldn't do it in mine, its really hard on the airframe as the wind is literally trying to push the canopy in.

The really cool thing is....these records were set in the 1960's, NASA really designed these birds right, they flat out haul ***.

But, dont think I'm jaded, I hooligan the ****e outta the C55.

Actually, this one is probably much more appropriate. This is my other bird. She is all German. Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) 105 CBS-5, essentially the Civilian counterpart to the German Militiary's PAH (yeah, I know....minus the anti tank missiles....but hey....).

And Just like the AMG........BULLETPROOF.

hope you guys dig.

Thus far, secondary cat delete, and a custom X-pipe from RPM Oceanside.
When I have time I'll have a set of Stainless Long tubes fabricated, badges deleted, then a tune. That will probably be the end of it. The best thing about this car is its so visually innocuous, which I love. Power, but not in your face.

Nice Little Bird! Does yours have an RR engine? I presume it's a single engine?

Just curious, are these ex-military aircraft? Do they have 'history'? Do you fly them for fun or are they work?

Cool! A lot of people would like to get something like a Bell 206 Jet-ranger, but your Little Bird is much more interesting. Maybe I'll be lucky to see one someday soon.

Thanks for sharing!
