Get to the Choppa!!!!
NOTE: THE HIGHEST BIDDER WILL RECEIVE A BILL OF SALE; NO TITLE OR KEYS; THE CITY OF CHICAGO RECOMMENDS PHYSICAL INSPECTION PRIOR TO PLACING A BID.
1200 HOURS BEFORE ENGINE MAINTENANCE IS NECESSARY; COMES WITH CAMERA AND GROUND HANDLING DOLLIES; HELICOPTER HAS NOT BEEN STARTED OR OPERATED IN APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR; NO KNOWN ISSUES PRESENT. OWNED BY THE CITY OF CHICAGO SINCE NEW; CONTINUOUSLY HANGARED; MAINTAINED UNDER CONTRACT; BASIC VFR CONFIGURATION; EXPOSED WIRING PRESENT; SOLD AS-IS, WHERE-IS; NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED; NOT WARRANTED FOR ANY SPECIFIC USE.
Completely unflyable and out of FAA compliance, but you can tow it somewhere and have it fixed up.
Bidding for the helicopter starts 03 April if we're reading the site correctly.

Hey Bud, I used to work for cook county department of corrections. Before i worked the guard towers,swat,sort,executioner, and sheriff I was the pilot for the cook county department of corrections helicopter. I also used to have an ambo on stand by.
Is this even legit? Because the email in the contact info has “Chicago” spelled wrong.
$1.00
Oh, absolutely gotta bid……not started in a year, exposed wiring (tho a maintenance contract is in play??)
My favorite part - “Not warranted for any specific use”
You mean like “flying?”
Anyone want to timeshare a helicopter w/ me?
get rid of those waste of money choppers and get 100 drones for a fraction of the cost
Freaking death trap!
Crazy! City must be desperate for money or an idiot boss is selling junk.
DISABILITY: I want to thank the BLOG for shedding light on the topic of disability, it's a topic that you will not learn through general orders or from STUPIDVISORS. You need to talk to someone who has been through it. Regarding Monica Ortiz, I also was told by her that since I am unable to carry a weapon the City of Chicago will send me to another city agency. Don't believe anything she says, better yet don't bother wasting your time with the FOP. There is no benefit for an officer to be on disability for the FOP since they cannot collect the annual dues taken from your check and they will not help you. I've been in no pay status for close to two years and counting. The board decided that I was fit for duty but there are four doctors, 2 from the city 2 of mine who said that I'm disable and that did not matter. For those offices who are go getters, just be careful, you don't want to become disabled like me and without a paycheck. Luckily my wife is a doctor and I'm too embarrassed to ask for financial help, honestly, I don't need it. But I will fight this erroneous judgement against.
my offer is they pay me 1 million bucks and I'll make it disappear for em... deal?

Nice Christmas gift or Birthday gift for a kid to place in the backyard
Who in the hell would trust any flying contraption sold by the city even if the new owner did fix it up? No thanks. I mean the one Kobe Bryant was in was sold by the state of Illinois and we all know what happened with that…
Sad sad city
Just transfer it to the Mayor’s Office. Think of all the time he spends speeding in his motorcade. With the chopper he can save time and look more efficient. Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s Choppa Conehead.
I'm thinking about buying this helo just for the neck-turning stares. How cool would it be to show up to work and land in the district parking lot? The rotor wash blowing debris onto coworkers $100,000 Jeeps and F150s. With my luck tho, Inspector MR would write me up for not having a city sticker. {clown emoji}
Who would want to pay for a piece of junk that they have to dispose of?
Exposed wiring present? Someone took it apart and couldn't get it back together? Write off instead of fixing? No pilot? Although they may do well on it, looks like a nice copter.
I’m sure BJ is trying to work out a deal with the ayatollah
I wouldn't buy anything from this socialist communist dictatorship city. In two years I am out of this communist socialist Democratic dictatorship shit hole. Fuck you Chicago and pay me my pension.
Minimum bid 425K LOL
The arrests aided by the chopper are mostly 1 demographic, that's what I call a racist chopper.
Heard Mayor Johnson is ordering an assignment of a 30 police officer detail to patrol the new Obama library.
obviously, that makes it 100% legit.
Civilianized OH-58 Kiowa.
And the AH-58 Kiowa Warrior.
Needs to be paired with AH-1 Cobra or AH-64 Apache.
It looks similar to the MCC building. Perfect.
$1.01
Everybody's disabled these days
Total mismanagement of everything drunk helicopters, junk squad cars. This all falls on the mayor who is too stupid to do anything.
Can you work at all? I’m sure the city is offering to find you a job sitting on your ass.
Monica & Kenyatta Gaines two idiots that should be No Where near or handling peoples medical. But you get what you vote for
Only 30 pssst he got more than that
Now sell the police boat.
Maybe Valerie Jarret could pay for library security. Valerie has made 675,000 on the library so far.
Of course it’s legit because a DEI wrote it up.
Basically it’s a Lawn Ornament.
Totally different. That crash comes out as pilot error. Aircraft flew into terrain due to pilot not Instrument qualified.
Strip the interior and fill it with concrete before of a neighborhood drug gang submits a winning bid.
Who does it need protection from????
Was the maintenance done by the old crew from the old Lawrence garage? (Showing my age here)
Yes. They were successful graduates of the Minnesota Learing Center..
The brown hornet rides again! (ob ref: Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids)
Naaa got copterjacked when it landed in Da Hood and shorties tried stripping it while the pilots were out for lunch.
"...won't cost the taxpayers a dime.." ..or so we were told..
Janky 1 deserves a proper burial.
Can you block this clown
It’s not a library
One dollar and one cent...
Photos look like they were stripping it for parts...definitely maintained by fleet management. It even has a chunk carved out of the steering controls. Just like CP
SCC, block this idiot.
How can we place a bid? …….. asking for what’s left of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
And just who would they be protecting it from?
I'll buy it and donate it to the state of il only if the first flight contains the fat ass useless piece of shit gov
With a DC in charge and of course take home cars for all the supervisors.
It's the same crap with blatant contract violations. The FOP just votes "NO" to easy win grievance and there is no rhyme or reason why they do so, it's just because they can. All my seniority violations grievances were dropped and there is no recourse I'm told. These are black and white cases zero investigation needed. After being screwed over few times I've learned that a simple email to the Commander or Captain usually fixes the watch secretary's seniority screw ups. It is far more effective to skip the FOP, skip the WOL and email the Boss directly.
Someone out there will buy it.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The kiss of death for any aircraft engine is to let them sit idle unless it is properly prepared for long term storage. A licensed A & P mechanic would know this, but would the city pay to get it done?
You would be justified to take up extra parking, unlike the coppers that park their trucks all sorts of angles so no one touches it like it’s a countach.
This is legit, even the mope who runs 2FM maintenance is listed on it. They needed to liquidate it after buying the new helicopters.
This right here. I’m not gonna fly any airlines anymore because all those planes used to belong to someone else too.
Holy crap, checked the auction site. There's two of them for auction. Along with 16,000 refuse carts - for a dollar
$1.01
Jim Gochee… is that you?
What’s stopping you from going to the media? Sounds like a great way to expose the incompetence of the city and FOP
Flying low over teen trends would make for a great OT initiative
Will this new unit be diverse diverse or have strict diversity?
You have to wonder who "removed" all the electronics and where they are currently.
Fit it out to carry Napalm and Willy Peter cannisters. Maybe some .30 Flex guns too.
That is actually a good idea.
im retiring in the next couple of years where are you planning to move to?
what is daley idiot son patrick daley up to ? rumorville has it he might be running for mayor
just so all of you cpd know clout rules cline godsel and pigott were mike madigans guy
1200 hours before a complete engine teardown is necessary...avionics equipment missing, and flight logs forged. Ran when parked. Gee, No Thanks.
Cone was heard to say..."We have a Chopper..?"

You mean mayor mondami???
Put it by the Picasso with a coin box. Nickel a ride. Keep Brandon busy until it’s time for bedee.
You must be close to 100. Congrats, Lawrence garage old timer.
Yes Einstein it’s Obama presidential library. Now get back to your online college course.
Careful FOP PRESIDENT CANTtanzara may bid 10k on the copter to deliver sandwiches to officer who make 110k a year and have UBER EATS app.
Good to see you back ASSMAN009. Maybe tell us some of your war stories?

Sadly, since JCat has retired and is now under investigation he and his entire crew has been on idle and only there to collect a check. You know the FOP 7 motto “Don’t rock the boat”! They dropped the ball for the DNC which cheated everyone that worked 12hours and only got paid for 11 1/2 hours, but billed the FEDs for 12 hours. I provided them with past precedence with the summer of love protests/riots and the FOP refused to fight it! They said it’s only a half hour, I don’t care if it’s only 1 minute. The 2nd you allow the city to get away with anything they will take advantage of our weakness, ignorance or laziness
You mean that murderer!!!???
Is the city planning to get Blue Thunder?
The Piggots were always Daley people
Iran is looking for some helipcopters!
$1.02 (im in the lead)
A graduate from CPS spelled it out!
I was going to bid $5.00 but I'm afraid they'll accept it!!!
$425,000 minimum bid?
It’s SGT gochee I’m a Sgt in the cpd show me respect
Go F&%K yourself SGT GOCHEE, there's you're respect......:)
Don’t be a hater Nick
Get rid of choppers. Just get some drones with explosives and dive them to stolen cars, thugs hanging out in corners, teen trends, and street gatherings.
Everyone is a victim. Why can’t you answer a phone? You have no idea what a true permanent physical disability it. Man up dude! Stop playing the disability card!
Or is it a (Oak) Lawn ornament?? Is that the one they had to emergency land in Oak Lawn a few years back?
Hey here’s an idea . Have CANTa Zara tell one of his cronies to make a motion and then have another second it to purchase the helicopter . He can add it to the truck , taco wagon , motorcycles and jeep in his garage or parked behind the Lodge .
He can get Tri- Santi , you know Mr . Fraternalism to get a license to fly it . When the FBI shows up they can go to the roof and make their escape . Make sure Mike Garza isn’t hanging on the side or you are going no where !
STFU loser and cry on a lib blog
I've heard Alabama's nice, 100f all summer & the water tastes like dirty pennies.
In one of the helos we currently have airborne, N911ZP or R
Recently, there was a disabled sergeant on the Police Pension Fund agenda who is in danger of losing her benefits. Let me be clear she is not above everyone else. Every officer receiving disability benefits is required to attend an annual physical examination, yet she refuses to comply.
What’s even more troubling is that the injury she is now claiming is not the same injury for which she originally received disability. Her original injuries had healed. Now she claims she cannot see the Pension Board’s doctor because it gives her PTSD.
This is exactly the kind of behavior that undermines the system for officers who are legitimately injured. Meanwhile, as mentioned in the post above, there are officers on no-pay status who are clearly not fit for duty and are struggling through the proper process. Situations like this damage the credibility of the disability system for everyone else.
If someone is deliberately abusing the system, there should be consequences. Cases like this should be investigated thoroughly, and if wrongdoing is found, appropriate charges and legal action should follow. Pay back the Fund.
Is that the same melon head pervert gochee that used to work in 6 knew him well
chump change for captain hairy the Hat
What will Tim Hamilton do then?
Just call for R service……… Lol
I like knowing the persons cooking food for me on a long day did so with care and held the spit. Uber eats and preparers are questionable in times of unrest and civilian mutiny. For that I say thank you John and crew
Wildlings don't read books. They will avoid that place like a clap. No need to have security.
Hey I worked with Gochee on Crestwood in the mid-90's. He was a decent guy and would always be willing to help with anything, and be there to back you up.
got my vote elect the lady from chinatown for some real change
I remember when they first got it....Crash landed on the drive
I wouldn’t by shit from this rotten corrupt city. They never maintain anything properly and I know that for a fact after seeing how Fleet Services did such a shitty job with the police boats !
