I saw on Reddit this morning that they are selling HAWC1 (for $515,000 US!) and HAWC2 (for $485,000 US).

Brings me back to the faux outrage from people when it was announced hawcs was getting a new heli. The next overhaul on these is going to be expensive as hell. Smart move to get rid now

HAWC1 and HAWC2 are the aviation equivalent of a 3 year and 11 month old BMW 7 series.

Used German cars (save for Porsches), generally. Past a certain year, however, most of the bugs have been worked out by the previous owners (having the cash beaten out of them), and they should be cheap enough that you can own one and have enough left over for something stupid to go wrong.

*checks thread* Wait, this isn't the General Automotive Thread....

I assume you mean 'how', and the answer to that would be two.

CPS is currently still using HAWC1 (as noted on it's sales pitch) but they recently added CFIVO, which took HAWC2's place.

CFIVO is an Airbus H125. Here's a short vid the Herald did on the new 'copter

Yes. But can you land it on the roof of a Skoda Yeti?

I think the Helicopter operates on a different branding premise than the average street cruisers.

I admit it, I snickered...but I do like the dark blue with the silver hawk logo over the straight black, hawk decal and yellow lettering.
