THAT'S what I was talking about you! :blur: Now if I missed that being mentioned somewhere, I humbly take back the Bite Me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinstar_ca Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 mike did do a great job.. well done, v man!! :up: it was generally a good show but i have to say the skycrane doesn't place loads precisely, the drivers flying it do!!! and i still think the 47 should have been on the list!! but that's just me being picky!!! was nice to see an old dom-peg 206 though!! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Reyno Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Thanks guys. It was a fun project to work on. Unfortunately I had little input on the selection of the top 10 helicopters. I pushed to have the Bell 47 included, but they went with the R-22/44 instead. But as I explained to them, it really was the Bell 47 that revolutionized the helicopter. The crew flew over from England in July, and I had to sit in front of the camera in my kitchen for about three hours. I gave them some good stuff, which got edited out of course. I explained how the Sea King spawned the S-61 and how the Huey spawned the 204/205/210/212/412. Oh well, next time! So, what’s the consensus of people on the forum? What do you think the top 10 helicopters are?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
