AIRGURUS' BELL 206L3 LONGRANGER

Versatility... Reliabilty... Power and Value... The Bell 206L3 LongRanger is the captain of Airgurus' fleet of helicopters.

Whether the mission is corporate or VIP transportation, EMS, offshore oil and gas rig support, aerial photography, TV / Film Works, sling load operations, and many more, it has what it takes to accomplish it. The powerful and reliable 650-horsepower Rolls-Royce engine flies higher and farther. For superiority safety, it has a high-inertial two-bladed rotor system while the patented suspension system delivers an incredibly smooth ride. It can hold up to seven passengers, very comfortably and the club-passenger seating allows for face-to-face conversations.   

The 206L LongRanger is a stretched variant with seating for seven (the LongRanger, stretched a total of 30 inches (760 mm), adds two rear-facing seats in between the front and rear seats). Since their first delivery in 1975, Bell has produced more than 1,700 Ls across all variant types. In 1981 a military version was released, the 206L "TexasRanger". The original 206L utilized an Allison 250-C20B engine, and a series of model upgrades replaced this engine with more powerful versions; the 206L-1 used a 250-C28 and the 206L-3 and 206L-4 used the 250-C30P with 490 shaft horsepower.


In 2007, Bell announced an upgrade program for the 206L-1 and 206L-3 which is designed to modify the aircraft to the 206L-4 configuration; modified aircraft are designated 206L-1+ and 206L-3+. Modifications include strengthened airframe structural components (including a new tailboom), improved transmission, upgraded engine for the L-1, all of which result in a max gross weight increase of 300 pounds and increased performance. 

The Bell 206L3 is without a doubt, the best choice for helicopter charter and air ambulance services in the Philippines with Airgurus Ltd. Co.

CAPT. HARRY V. LERO OF AIRGURUS LTD. CO.

Capt. Harry V. Lero, C.E.O. and Chief Pilot of Airgurus Ltd. Co., is the third-generation pilot in the Lero clan.

As a little boy, he grew up with his siblings watching their grandfather and father, Capt. Harry Lero, take off and land on helipads all over the Philippines. He even flew with them hundreds of times. While his two other siblings wanted different dreams and professions in life, young Harry Harvey Lero always wanted to be a pilot. He learned everything about helicopters at a very young age.

Fascinated with speed, safety and precision, he formally had his private pilot ground course at PHILSCA and took his commercial ground course and instrument rating ground course at the Asian Aviation Academy. His helicopter ground course and some flight trainings were done at Airworks then later on in Canada and in the U.S.A. for more trainings.  With all the formal courses and trainings Capt. Harry Harvey Lero took in life, everything he had to learn was already gradually taught to him in his early teens by his own father and grandfather... the best helicopter flight instructors anyone can ever have.

In 2005, Harry Harvey came back from the US after successful business ventures there and put up Airgurus Ltd. Co. in Manila, Philippines. It was a struggle to begin with, but with his perseverance and goals to make the business thrive, Capt. Harry Harvey Lero became one of the most successful helicopter pilot in the Philippines. With his knack on finding the right people and staff to support and share his dreams, goals and passion with, he was able to form a incredibly-dedicated management team that now makes Airgurus Ltd. Co.... the most formidable helicopter and aircraft charter in the country and in Asia.

Hailed by Business Magazine in 2010 as the Master of the Skies, Capt. Harry Harvey Lero is the best and most reliable helicopter pilot in the country. We fondly call him the "Speedmaster" with his ability and skills to provide compelling efficiency, precision, safety and quality service to clients. We also call him the "Extractor" for his personal goals for successfully delivering medically-ill patients through their "golden hours"... the hours between life and death via Airgurus' Air Ambulance / Medevac Service.

Capt. Harry Harvey Lero is indeed, the true Master of the Skies.

A DIVING EXPERIENCE IN PARADISE GONE WRONG

Diving in the Philippines is all year-round but the best time is generally from December to April. The monsoon season starts July to September. The hottest months are April, May and June with temperatures over 32 ^oC. Water temperatures all year round are 27-31^oC. This is one of the reasons why millions dive here in the Philippines aside from the fact that the entire archipelago has thousands of dive spots to offer.

Airgurus Ltd. Co., the only professional air ambulance and medical evacuation provider in the Philippines did the medevac/medical evacuation of a 24 years old male Israeli from Puerto Princessa, Palawan last April 1, 2011. 

This diver from Israel had two pleasurable dives in Palawan, Philippines. His first dive started at 11am and the second dive was at 2pm when something happened. It was when the Israeli diver figured in diving mishap. He had himself checked right away at a District Hospital and was initially diagnosed with mediastinal emphysema which required him to be rapidly transported  to a hyperbaric chamber anywhere in the Philippines. Airgurus flew this diver from Puerto Princesa, Palawan to St. Luke's Hospital Global City as advised by his insurance company.

Mediastinal emphysema is one of the maladies that can afflict underwater underwater divers who breathe compressed air. As a diver descends, the external pressure upon his increases. The air he breathes is more dense and concentrated than the air breathed on the surface. While the diver remains deeply submerged, there is no difficulty. However, when he begins to ascend again, the external pressure decreases and the lungs begin to expand because the air inside has less pressure to contain it.  If the diver breathes normally or exhales as he ascends at a moderate rate, the extra gas pressure is relieved by exhaling. If the diver holds his breath, rises too rapidly, or has respiratory obstructions such as cysts, mucus plugs, or scar tissue, which do not permit sufficient release of air, the lungs become overinflated and rupture. Air bubbles can enter the veins and capillaries of the circulatory system directly, causing an air embolism, or they can travel through the lung tissue to other areas of the body.

 In mediastinal emphysema, the air bubbles usually pass along the outside of blood vessels and the respiratory tubes (bronchi) until they reach the mediastinal cavity. This area contains the heart, major blood vessels, main bronchi and the trachea (air tube from nose and mouth). Air trapped in the mediastium expands as the diver continues to rise. The pressure may cause intense pain beneath the rib cage and in the shoulders; the expanding air may compress the respiratory passageways, making breathing difficult, and collapse blood vessels vital to circulation. 


The symptoms of mediastinal emphysema may range from pain under the breastbone, shock, and shallow breathing to unconsciousness, respiratory failure, and cyanosis (blue coloring of the skin). In cases in which the symptoms are not severe, the air will be absorbed by the body, or it may be removed by inserting a long hypodermic needle into the mediastinum to draw off the air. If there is a respiratory or circulatory distress, the victim must be recompressed in a hyperbaric chamber so that the body can resume its' essential functions before the air is removed such as in the case of  the aforementioned diver.

Diving in the Philippines is a great experience but there are unexpected hazards that may come along with it if one is not being careful. Airgurus Ltd. Co. encourages local and foreign divers intending to dive in the Philippines to check their insurance companies and to make sure that air ambulance / medevac is covered.

GETTING READY FOR THE SINULOG GRAND PARADE (CEBU CITY)

Scrambling for the almost fully-booked airline reservations and hotel accommodations for Cebu City on January 16, 2011 must be done now. I've done this a few minutes ago for a friend although I, on the other hand is confirmed to be going with friends chartering a private helicopter with Airgurus Ltd. Co... just to make sure I don't miss out feeling the beat and the rhythm of the grandest, most distinguished and most colorful festivals in the Philippines... Sinulog Festival!


This major festival is held each year in Cebu City to honor the Santo Niño or the child Jesus who used to be the patron saint of the whole province of Cebu (since in the Catholic faith, Jesus is not a saint but God). It is fundamentally a dance ritual remembering the Filipino pagan past and their recognition of Christianity.

 
The festival features some of the country's most colorful displays of ceremony and pageantry... participants are clothed in bright-colored costumes dancing to the rhythm of drums and native gongs. The streets are generally lined with vendors and pedestrians (foreign and local tourists) all wanting to witness the street dancing!

The celebration traditionally lasts for nine days, ending on the ninth day when the Sinulog Grand Parade reveals. The day before the parade, the Fluvial Procession, a water-parade, held at dawn from the Mandaue City wharf to Cebu City wharf with the Santo Niño carried on a pump boat decorated with hundreds of flowers and candles. The procession ends at the Basilica where a re-enactment of the Christianizing of Cebu follows. In the afternoon, a more formal procession takes place along the major streets of the city, which last for hours due to large crowd participating in the religious event. On the feast day, at the Basilica, a Pontifical Mass is held, given by the Cardinal with the assistance of several bishops of Cebu. The majority of the city’s population and devotees would flock to the Basilica to attend the mass before heading out to the streets to watch the Parade. 

Here's the schedule of the January 16, 2011 (Sunday)  SINULOG GRAND PARADE
4:00 AM    Mañanita Mass @Basilica del Sto. Niño
6:00 AM    Pontifical mass with His Eminence Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal
9:00 AM    Sinulog Grand Parade Carousel Kick Off
7:00 PM    Grand Fireworks, Cebu City Sports Center
7:30 PM    Street Party Bands, Fuente Osmeña 

I am so looking forward to see Cebu City in a different light... I can already imagine hovering the magnificent city  in the South of the Philippines and arriving in style. 

 

To charter for your own private helicopter just in case you ran out of commercial flights, call Airgurus 24/7 at +632 583 6337 / +632 854 4086 / +63 920 955 0897 / +63 917 596 6288 or email Airgurus Ltd. Co.

THE "HELICOPTER" IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR...

AIRGURUS LTD. CO. was featured in FHM Philippines' Ladies Confessions Volume 4. Airgurus' helicopters and aircraft served as background for the pretty girls from the Paradise City of the Philippines... Manila. 

I got a copy courtesy of Capt. Harry Lero of Airgurus Ltd. Co. and oh, man!... you just have to get hold of this copy! I'm a woman but page by page, it stirred my imagination far more than what Spongebob Squarespants said! So really... do grab a copy now! My dear friend Aubrey Miles is on the hot cover!

And so my imagination is stirred but before you go on reading this, I have specific rules:

1. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, TRY NOT GOING OUT OF MY PAGE NOW! THIS ARTICLE IS TOTALLY NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS AND JUST FOR YOU, I HAVE A CUSTOMIZED BUILT-IN TRACER FOR MY SITE! I CAN TRACK YOU DOWN IN WAYS YOU CAN NEVER IMAGINE AND REPORT YOU TO YOUR MOMMA!

2. Point # 1 is just for kids but if you are 18 years of age and above, allow me to set you in the right mood of reading... press play the video hereunder:

 

Welcome to the social media chameleon's world of naughty random thoughts! I'm going to talk about "the helicopter". Definitely not on the literal aircraft that derives its' lift from blades that rotate about an approximately vertical central axis. That's too wikipedia. I'm on wiki-leaks mode today *wink! wink!* so allow me to start now....

Sex... it has to be "give or take" because it's not supposed to please just men but hey, please us women too by helping us reach our orgasms. Sex is meant to be an enjoyable activity for both. Treating us like helicopter rotor blades when you turn us around will only make us women bored!

Years ago, my 4 female best friends and I were talking about sexual positions that make us tick in bed. One of my friends was a virgin back then and she was begging us for a "tell and show" ha ha ha! No, we didn't go too far, guys. Each of us made contributions, which I'll mention as follows so read carefully, guys... be in the know... let's go straight to number one G-spot positions right now:

• The Rising - This is one comfortable missionary position that makes both enjoy the deep thrusting... building erotic tension. How it's done: Raise her legs in the air, make a "V" shape by holding both thighs open with her hands. Penetrate in the usual man-on-top position. The penetration is pretty intense but if she wants her man deeper, she should bend her knees and bring em towards her chest. One thing you have to know most is that it's all in the angle of her legs. 

• The Deckchair - A favorite missionary position most men love because of the sense of power of holding the women down but is one position that's definitely not leaving women out. How it's done: Lay her down on the bed in a comfortable position. Bring her knees high, resting them at the curves of her breasts and make her hold her knees with her hands. The man should rest on his knees with back straight. She makes her man grasp her ankles and or hold her legs behind the knee. The man controls the penetration with his hips as well as holding her legs. Both man and woman can make small rocking motions allowing short or deep, slow and fast strokes. This is a good position for maximum penetration. 

• Spooning - Women loves this because it offers intimacy. The man and woman lies on their sides both facing the same direction with the man behind the woman. The man slides in and both partners rock themselves to orgasm. Staying close can feel intimate but to spice it up a little, giving her g-spot some loving can be incredible for both.

• The Arch - This position allows deep penetration, leaving a man's hands free to explore. This is the one right here if you want to hit that g-spot. Starting off with the missionary position with the man on top of the woman.... she plants her feet on the surface of the bed while the man shifts his hands to her waist. She thrusts her pelvis upward while the man pulls up on her waist, keeping her feet planted on the bed and her back lifted from the mattress in an arch. The man shifts his hands to the woman's upper thighs or buttocks to support her while she arches.
  

• The Helicopter - This is sure to stimulate both the man and woman in ways they can never imagine. Multiple orgasms can be achieved here... if done well. How it's done: For starters, the woman lowers herself down onto her partner's penis and carefully slowly leaning herself back until she lying backwards at a similar angle to him with her legs extended by his head. That is the X-position just like the helicopter blades when not in yet motion. Parking first! The man's penis is barely inside the woman's vagina... prolonging the thrill but is already enjoyable since the penis' head is the most sensitive. Now for the chopper action.... she gently leans forward to an upright position while impaled on his penis and slowly, slowly twists around 360 degrees as she controls the circular motion. The view and feel for a man is extremely stimulating and because the penis rides on top of the vaginal wall, it's a sure take-off for a g-spot orgasm! 

A few years later, my 4 female best friends and I talked about it again and yes... we voted... "the heli" is a hell of a great choice! Even the helicopter pilots know this must be a thrilling one (if they haven't tried it yet) because nothing beats the vibration once they turn on the engine!

Try any (or better yet, all) of the five g-spot positions that me and my friends used to talk about for learning purposes. Doing these ensures that your partner receives the orgasmic pleasure while you have the time of your life making love to her!

Hope you liked this different reading this time. Watch out for the images of Airgurus Ltd. Co.'s shoot with the FHM paradise girls at the gallery of www.airgurus.com. Meantime, don't forget to grab a copy now of FHM Ladies Confessions Volume 4.
