Episode description

We're recording from a 2-day lake-effect snowstorm, which looks CRAZY on Foreflight! Looking at the storm on radar brings us to today's podcast topic: what’s going on with the Millennial Falcon? Well… we got quite the jarring photo from Robinson of the current state of our bird, so let’s discuss.


Chris answers the question, “why overhaul instead of buying new?” He breaks down helicopter economics and how the overhaul is more like a back-to-studs home renovation than getting your car's oil changed. He reflects on his “pipe dream” of owning and flying helicopters, breaks down why we went to Robinson for the overhaul, and talks about how we ended up with the unicorn aircraft from a hog hunting outfit in Texas.
