Wait a minute!! Didnt a bunch of you guys just tour the factory ????
Highly trained Rick spotters that can sniff out a 4001 on a TV screen at 100 paces, surely couldnt walk past a whole pallet of 4002's.

And I just paid down the credit cards. Where does the line start?

John, I am a trained forklift operator, certified and highly decorated with many awards and citations...I would be glad to come "move" them for you...wherever you'd like....for a small fee, of course....

and the "small fee" would be a brand new 4002

Well now, that's quite an interesting bombshell... I wonder what else Mr. Hall has up his sleeves.

I did take Mr. Hall’s offer seriously. If I could have purchased his “new ride” for under $150,000.00, maybe I could swing it, (with the help of the rest of the Forum).
The fuel cost was not a problem. The Jet Ranger B III only holds 91 Gallons.
The used market place is demanding, on the low side, $310,000.00 all the up to $750,000.00.
The prices above reflects Helicopters that are in working condition.
However, Mr. Hall was not specific if actually had to fly.

I'm in!!! Hmmm... and if they're not finished yet, it'd be great to be able to specify a colour too... A Blue Burst 4002... Mmmmmmm!!!!!

I'd take one in one of the original finishes. I'll even fly out to Santa Ana to pick one up.

Man, this is torture!
...you said it, Ron!! I've wanted a 4002 since I'd seen it in a RIC catalogue back in '81.

What's the attraction to them all about?
What do they sound like? A 4004?

"What's the attraction to them all about?"
The ebony fingerboard, the highly figured maple body, the walnut wings on the headstock, the checkered binding. The studio quite pickups and balanced output jack to go straight into a recording console.
