SARblade Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Reddog said: The S76C+ for the handling and the cockpit bells and whistles. The Super Puma for the performance. How about having both! The EH101 for me with all the features, comfy, coffee, crapper, and cot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddog Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'd love to give it a go. Now that I've joined the ranks of the "Old Guys", the more creature comforts the better. That crapper sounds especially attractive. Imagine being 200 nm offshore, you just missed at the rig and all of a sudden the Quito Quickstep strikes.

sharkbait Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I think "Favourite" helicopter has a lot of "what was I doing" and "who was I working with" involved. Having said that The Bell 205A1 "Huey" hands down the bestest, funnest machine I ever flew. With a water bucket even better - with a Water Tank - what can I say - It don't get much better than that. 212 comes close but all those guages to look at and the job wasn't as interesting. Land - water, water, water, Oil rig, water, water, water and Land again. Of course, Reddawg we could make an exception for the 212 during our sojourn with The UN in Kuwait. That was high on the fun-o-meter! The 206L-1 was also a nice machine to fly we had some really good ones, I flew C-GLMM over 700 hrs one year with 0, zip, nadda, nary a snag. A really good machine with some real good engineers looking after it. Who can't say that the B47 wasn't great to fly- especially on floats. Besides any helicopter is better than no helicopter at all.

Blackmac Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 My personal favorite is any tandem rotor helicopter, control is fantastic and so is C of G. Next is my favorite 2 bladed truck the 204B, love it, more than the 205 or 212. Flew tandem in 58 and 204 in 67. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 As every take off is optional.....and every landing is mandatory. Without a doubt, my favorite helicopter is the one that safely brought me back, to terra firma :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 AIR HOGS HAVOC HELI Affordable, and can be used to chase the 'ol lady' around the house with! Excellent DOC's per hour flown! Haha I just got one of those from a Flying-J, I guess since it's the only machine I've flown it'll have to do as my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookdangler Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 It has to be the S61!! Great machine to work in. Good all round machine for any kind of work. I sure miss it. But flying the 212 is still loads of fun too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
