She ain’t ugly, she just looks that way.

Heliqwest Aviation brought a K-MAX in for a visit to our hangar at the Campbell River airport. The Kaman K-1200 is an American Helicopter with intermeshing rotors designed for lifting. It weighs just over 5000 pounds but can handle a 6000 pound external lift.

It’s a case of form follows function. By the way, Kaman also makes cool guitars!
