NP?
I have no idea how much helicopters cost, but with the added equipment, seems like a good deal

That’d be handy to look for my dog if he’s running loose in the neighborhood , at night ...
I’d need to start a gofundme, or something ...

Yeah, but just think about how much time it spent idling with the AC on.

CP-ish . they are going for 500,000 with half the hours. But this one had add ons. So might be at market value if it sells for under 600,000.

It has floats so you can land on a body of water and fish from your own damn helicopter? NP!

If you use the winch and hook, you can fish with the helicopter.

Think of how much time you could save on your commute though! Parking and fuel might be a challenge though...

Parking is easier if you travel in three dimensions.

I suppose it could depend on why it is up for auction. I’m guessing a police helicopter that has been shot down by a disgruntled former Marine with a bolt-action rifle from his backyard might be more of a CP thing.
