July 6, 20169 yr ... just because they can! Some variants have no trouble popping up to 15,000 ft and more... perfect for a little heli-skiing!
July 7, 20169 yr Great shots! That's an amazing altitude for a chopper.

July 7, 20169 yr Author Thanks! It gets a little mushy at that altitude,and credit to the FDE for making it so. A Squirrel actually holds the absolute altitude record for rotary wings: World Altitude record by Helicopter – 42,500Ft About thirty years after the record set by Jean Boulet on a SA315 B “Lama” helicopter, Fred North, professional pilot, takes an AS 350 B2 “Squirrel” to the fantastic altitude of 12954 m. (Thanks Wiki)
