Yeah our AS350's never saw the gulf! We bought them brand new (20+ years ago) and converted some of them from b2's to b3's, no not the ones with 2b1 engines, the older 2b ones. And then we rolled one over, had a bird punch a hole through the nose, etc and repaired them. Lots of metal work, lots of layers of paint, new tanks, now they're all heavy as hell, half of them have CG problems, and we're running short of mechanics to keep them running! But yeah, never in the gulf!
