FXSTAR HELICOPTER DESCRIPTION:
The industry standard “Black Beauty" has all forward facing customized bench style seats giving excellent visibility. Sunshine has flown over 850,000 satisfied passengers in our “Black Beauties” since 1985. Recently upgraded in 2008 to the all new ASTAR 350FX, the “FX” carries more weight, flies faster, is quieter and more fuel efficient. The increased capacity allows the FX to have “First Class” seating. The conversion from AS350BA to AS350FX is provided by Heli-Lynx Helicopter Service of Canada and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Ross Scott, President says “the FX is the most environmentally friendly helicopter we operate with a lower noise footprint and 25% less fuel burn. It raises the bar for green helicopter air touring in Hawaii.”
FX Open Seating: Industry standard six-passengers, seat assignment determined by weight and balance.
