Nice story Skipkid. I too have flown many hours in 8149R and a few in 5860V. Most of my time was in 47825, a turbo arrow.

Bell 407 N407EP (c/n 53116) at Republic Airport, Farmingdale, New York, on December 4, 2013. The aircraft is owned by TTM Corporation but operated by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection Police.
Can anyone provide any background about this helicopter? Any idea where it's based?
Thanks!
Tom
Did you put up a picture as I am not getting anything except a box with a question mark.Quote:

Used to fly around low and dip down for water samples.

Any News on Departure Date / Time?
Thought I heard something go over earlier. Does he usually hang around a while?
Flew over right my head in Plainview at 2:22!! Pretty cool I had just gotten out of the supermarket loading up my car when I heard this sound which I knew had to be a fighter jet!! Looked up and there they were coming towards me then headed out to the S/SW!!Quote:

Shutdown, refueled and hung out for about an hour before flying out to the NE. Now registered to company in Montana but used by Construction Helicopters Inc for heavy lifting!!Quote:

From Newsday, it looks like they were filming a new movie "John Wick" with Keanu Reeves over near SheltAir on Saturday. The SUV with the boom was in the background of the photo on their FB page, so the action you saw at the terminal may all be related.
John thanks for that!! Wonder if they used any aircraft or they just like the location to film?Quote:

Shes parked on the southwest side of the field off Rte 109.
Not sure how long she'll be there for, but you can check here:
