FABIO IDE'S GIFT FOR HIS PARENTS: A HELICOPTER TOUR IN MANILA

Up, up and away! Philippines' TV celebrity Fabio Ide, who is currently the lead in GMA7's Coffee Prince as Leo (a  drama series which originally came from Korea) recently took his visiting parents by surprise... a helicopter ride with Airgurus Ltd. Co.

Playing the real-life role of doting son this time despite his hectic schedule in showbiz, Fabio took his mom and dad for a helicopter tour in the world-famous Tagaytay, where the world's smallest active volcano, Taal Volcano is sitting in between the Taal Lake.

It was both his mom and dad's first helicopter ride and both enjoyed the tour from Manila's coastal areas all the way to the mountain ranges of Tagaytay. Fabio sat with his mom and his dad got the special cockpit ride with Airgurus' Chief Executive Officer and Chief Pilot, Capt. Harry Lero.

 

Unfortunately that day, Fabio had an 11am appointment so we took off early instead of the scheduled 11am flight. Reaching Tagaytay, a very thick fog covers the entire Taal Lake make the Taal Volcano visibly impossible.

So, Fabio decided to take his parents for a very special breakfast date they ever had with him... breakfast at the world-renowned Antonios' Restaurant.

 

 

 

 

 

The fun ride with his parents did not end right after breakfast. Fabio Ide talked to the captain and asked if we could take them to see Metro Manila too!

 

 

It was a memorable day for Fabio and his parents... so happy that upon landing at the hangar of Airgurus, they still had wide smiles on their faces! Great job, Fabio... what a loving son!

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.
