Pardon earlier message....Not a great photo. The year or so earlier ops had been in the "Speedshop", the tan building in the distance. Transco is still in operation at this time next door in the brown hangar. |

I heard this loud popping noise and saw flame shooting out of the exhaust of a 212. It was awesome! What happened was the DM, can't remember his name, was tracking the 212 on the ground, and somehow got the cord of the strobe light wrapped around the manual governor switch of one of the engines, which is on the console, and put an engine into manual governor, at 100%. The joke at the time was; 'they overtorqued everything but the clock'. It was something to see, I'll tell you. Z |

I like seeing these old pictures. I'm not an old fella, and it's awesome to think about how back in the 80s before all the fancy equipment we have now. The navigation to a toad out in the gulf and the weather reporting and such. Different time. Spoiled we are all now. Yes times have changed, and generally it's safer, but hats off to all of those who did this back then. |

I recall era having the most pristine 105s and 412s. You could eat off the floors. I believe their parent company was Rowan Drilling at the time. Back when offshore was hard work. No ac, no gps, but a great mix of Vietnam guys who were good mentors. |

Yep....the ERA BO105's were extremely well maintained.....Bob Lannerd was the old school DOM at the time and he was a 'my way or the highway' kinda guy. ERA and Lannerd in particular were particularly influential with many of the STC's and options developed on the BO105's in the early 80's. Air Cruiser floats, Fuel Dif pressure Sw, AND, Air Conditioning via an STC'd ECU (Environmental Control Unit). A ECU used engine bleed air....but it was better than no A/C at all. PHI eventually followed suit and installed ECU's in most of their offshore BO's too. And you're right about no frills.....in 1982, i actually ferried a brand new BO105 from MBB in PA to ERA Lake Charles, with an ERA pilot who had nothing more than a wet compass, and a 'ferry radio'. If we were unsure of our location, we'd just decrease altitude until we could read the name of the town on the local water tower. Those were the days.... |
