    The margin of error for the pilot of the bird on "Ilona" must be even tighter now with the new pad.

    Sorry, but that looks really tacky. Are the Owners that type that want more and more from a boat & the crew?

    It looks all wrong and pushing the envelope to what is safe and practical.

    I wouldn't get into that helicopter. Is that some mechanism propping it up in the back? It just seems sketchy.

    That is the inflatable emergency floatation bag tucked under the tail of the helcopter.

    Hi,

    It could also well be the Nitrogen Bottle which fills the floats either side of the machine.

    I know the ones with the skids might have the inflatable bags on the skids. However you look at it though, they seem to be flotation devices for "Ilona's" bird.
