Tony Badali, e-mail, 01.04.2015 00:30 I flew in this aircraft as a child in 1958. It was my first ride in a helicopter.
It took place on a golf driving range near Des Plaines, Illinois.
My family was returning home from lunch we we spotted the helicopter and my younger brother and I encouraged my Dad tomstop so we could have a closer look.
Next thing we knew,may Dad had talked the pilot into giving the boys and their Mom a quick hop in this beautiful machine.
I tried to post the picture but for some reason , it will not post here.

Joe Scherrer, e-mail, 29.03.2015 23:21 Hello! I remember helicopter N2831B and N2480B were with a company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati for quite a while back in the 60's! I was always interested in helicopters and took many pictures of these with a Brownie. They flew the traffic reporter here in Cincy for a number of years and I would always look for them as a kid and listen in. I often wondered what ever happened to these 2 copters and now I know. Glad to hear they are still around! They were very classy helicopters. I still have the black and white pictures of them.

Jim Work, e-mail, 16.03.2014 02:14 As I said before, I once owned N2831B . I used it once to deliver White Castle burgers at a picnic. The story surfaced and I was invited to White Castle headquarters in Columbus Ohio and inducted into the White Castle Hall of Fame . HONEST ! Google it. Put in "White Castle Hall of Fame, a helicopter & a sack of sliders". The story will come up along with a photo of the Bell hovering to drop off the White Castle by a uniform clad deliveryman.

Jim Work, e-mail, 17.10.2010 01:25 I once owned this aircraft, ( N2831B ) Hov-Air Inc. Livonia , MI Sorry for selling it . Always was a tame and great handling ship. Nothing smoother than wooden blades if you take care of them. Your tech info on VNE & cruise speed is stretching it. Must be propaganda put out by Bell in a sales brochure. Retreating blade stall at about 120 would shake your fillings out ! Last I heard it was out on the West coast. Enjoyed seeing it again with a new paint job.
