They were picked up during the acquisition of Evergreen helicopters. Evergreen had a contract to provide them to the Phillipine government and they were based in Cebu’… and they were equipped with static lines inside at the time. They are a workhorse in AK and slow movers, they hold up to 3 tons of cargo and have a rear loading ramp. The AK SMJ’s have used them for years. Think of it like a 1/4 scale Herc.
On the Erickson display was three models,the two helo’s ok,but what is that fixed wing twin?..
I asked that same question. They explained that it is a CASA. Erickson does not manufacture them, obviously, but they operate at least one.
