Helicopters are ace !
xmob:
In no particular order:
Gazelle
Hughes 500
Lynx 9
Bell 47
Comanche
Mi-26
And of course, my Nexus 30. :D
xmob:
Oh, and this is what an Mi-26 can do with a CH-47 :lol:

Must say I'm a fan of the Chinook, and the Lynx is a nice bit of kit too.
On pure "big boys toys" ratings, this has to score quite high too :
xmob:
I hope the cameraman ducked! :D

Speaking of such things... what was quite an eye-opener was the absolute trust they have to put in each other... There was a bit of footage of a Chniook collecting a big lump of somehing from the ground... it hoverd in and then descended down above the cargo... 2 blokes were standing on top of it with the loading straps, ready to hook on...
I can just imagine the first time you do that.... stood on top of a big pallet and stuffing great twin-rotor helicopter swoops down above your head, stopping just in time for you to reach up and casually hook on a strap !
