I can't imagine at R44 that type of distance.


It was brutal at first. I'm a fixed wing pilot by trade and had only about 12 hrs in a helicopter before this trip so I was definitely not used to it.

The biggest issue was trying to get out of the SE states without running into the numerous summertime storms that like to pop up out of thin air. The thick summertime air meant a lot of turbulence but we usually cruised around 5-6k feet with the doors off.

What airspeed? That's the nice part about the 64E is we could cruise 140KTAS too easy for 2+30 hours.
