I believe AvBuyer is the best medium for advertising aircraft and do get a lot of leads from the listings. We even get reminders to reply to inquiries, which is better than the competition.

As a first-time user of AvBuyer I was not sure of the exposure, or support I would receive with my listing. When I reached out to a former fellow Vermonter David Olcott, I knew I had made the right decision in choosing AvBuyer as our marketing platform. It could not have been easier. The day the posting went up, there were so many people sending inquiries I could not believe it!

Eurocopter EC-120B Colibri Helicopter Overview
By Gerrard Cowan - Editor, Aircraft Reviews
The Eurocopter EC-120B Colibri (known as the H120 under Airbus’s new naming convention) carved out a significant presence in the single-engine turbine helicopter market during 20 years of production.
The aircraft was developed by Eurocopter and several partners in the late 1990s, including Harbin Aviation Industries, Singapore Technologies Aerospace Ltd, and China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation, or CATIC.
It was launched in 1997, with over 100 orders placed by the following year. According to JETNET data, 699 units were produced in total, and the aircraft found service with more than 400 operators around the world.
The Eurocopter EC-120B continues to generate plenty of demand on the pre-owned market today and can carry four passengers and a pilot while offering a range of 383 nautical miles.
What features does the Eurocopter EC-120B offer?
The Eurocopter EC-120B Colibri is powered by a single Arrius 2F engine from Safran Helicopter Engines. Its built-in safety levels are exceptionally high, thanks to the Spheriflex main rotor head, fully compliant crash-resistant fuel system (CRFS), crash-resistant seat and structure (CRSS), all-composite blades, and Fenestron tail rotor.
The aircraft is well-suited to the VIP/corporate markets thanks to its spacious cabin, low sound levels, generous visibility and a substantial luggage compartment. Later models are available with the ‘Airbus Stylence’ interior which is specifically designed with executive comfort in mind.
What came before and after the Eurocopter EC-120B?
In the passenger transport market, the EC-120B has a long and successful heritage. Today, Airbus offers a wide range of aircraft aimed at the VIP/corporate markets, which it caters for through its Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) brand, including the ACH125 (known as the H125 in more general use).
The ACH125 generally holds up to four passengers in VIP/corporate use. The larger ACH130 (or H130 more generally), meanwhile, can carry up to seven passengers and one pilot.
