Rotorboy2 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 How the h*ll does the R22 rank so high on the list??? Obviously the person who wrote the list has never flown in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T tail Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I'm still trying to work out where the Astar got to ??? The B3 is an impressive piece of machinery for it's size :up: Cheers TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotorhead Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Maybe we as members should put together our list of favourites. Instead of a television network that may be influenced by advertising dollars. (Not that there is anything wrong with that ;-) ) I've flown only four out of those ten and cannot say too much bad about any of them. I'll work on my own favourites. These are ones I've flown (#) or want to fly... 1. S76 # 2. Astar # 3. Bell 206 # 4. EC 332L1 Super Puma 5. Bell 47 # 6. EC 365 Dauphin 7. S64E/F 8. Bell 212/205/204 # 9. Bell 407 10. S61 # RH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Rotorhead, ?? an Astar at #2 and a 407 at #9 ?? What gives with that? I think you've been in that thick East coast fog too long or something Say, nice Avtar, how about them Canucks? good game with Ottawa last night :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transquebecniece Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I just looked through 123 heli-related listings at discovery.com (umbrella site for Discovery, Military, Learning channels) and there's no reference at all to this program here in the States. I've not yet given up, however. Here at the Forum I've seen it referred to as Top Ten Helis, Ten Greatest Helis, World's Greatest Helis and I think one other thing on another thread. Anyone know the exact title of the program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet B Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Don't get me wrong here... The Bell 205 and the Astar are my two favorite machines to fly, so far anyway... But if you really look at what Frank Robinson accomplished with the R-22, it's quite impressive. I think the reasons they stated on the show for it winning such high honors was a combination of sales and simplicity of design. At the last company I worked for, I had the chance to do a recurrency hour on an R-44 Raven 2... For what it can do and what it costs to buy and operate, it is an amazing aircraft for it's class. (Fuel injection and hydraulics). If I was to win a small lottery, and I couldn't quite afford to own a 407 or Astar as a personal toy... I think my choice would be a Robinson R-44 Raven 2. All that being said... As just a driver, I do prefer turbine machines. Preferably ones that don't shed blades though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
