"Favorite Helicopter?" Topic

Do you have a favorite copter?

Ah-64 Apache

Definitely the Apache.

Bell UH-1 Iroquois

Mil Mi-24 Hind

Helicopters aren't really my thing, but if pressed I would say the CH-47 Chinook.

Ron

OH6 or Apache

Sea King and the Merlin

I'd go with the Mi-24.

Next modern game might just be the helicopter raid from the movie "Blood Diamond."

Hind or Cobra? I can't choose!

I've got a soft spot for those clunky Kamov contra-rotor contraptions, too.

I agree with Norman – love the Cobra, love the Hind

Cobra!!!!!!!!!!!!

Airwolf

Cobra.

Alouette III K-car

Apache. Cobra is a close runner up though.

I've always love the OH6, such a versatile bird.

I like the Hind, too. It's just so intimidating looking.

The one I auto-rotated in!

AH-16 Cyclone.

The AH-1F Cobra all the way!!!!
That is what I worked on during my Army days in Germany.

Skycrane. It's funky looking but really useful.

Blackhawk

None.

Favorite chopper in real life:

Favorite fictional copter:

BTW Airwolf is just a customized Bell 222.

OH6 – Loach
Neat bird very manueverable

AH56 Cheyenne. 200+knots!

Apache and AH1 SuperCobra

Baumgartl Heliofly III-57

AH-6 and MH-6 "Little Bird".

I had a propellor beanie when I was a kid.

AH-64D and the son who flys it.

Sat in the cockpit of both the Apache and the Hind.

I had an Apache hovering around my house the other day. They just look so dangerous.

Kaman Huskie is right up there for me. Unique design, rugged construction and did an unglamorous but important job in Rescue and Firefighting for the Air Force. Other than that, probably the Cobra, Hind and Huey.

UH-60 Medevac and the people who fly them. They pulled some of my friends out of some pretty tough spots.

RAH-66 Comanche – sad the program was cancelled

Bell UH-1, that sound travels for miles.

Definitely the flying banana!

As they are all an abomination against everything good I find he concept of a favourite incomprehensible.

Fatman

for me, it is a draw between the UH-34 Sea Horse and the CH-46 Sea Knight.

Have to say the Westland Wessex. When I was a boy I just loved its shape. Back then I also loved lorries and trucks. So maybe I like stuff that is chunky.

HinD, no question though all choppers are cool.

Always thought the Cobra looked cooler than the Apache.

Apache and Cobra.

If we're including canceled programs, the LHX/RAH-66 was very impressive looking.

Maybe growing up during Vietnam era,
Cobras

Yea, the Cobra, AKA "SNAKE" for me too.

In service: Mi-24 HIND

Stillborn: RAH-66 Comanche

Sci-fi: "The 6th Day" whispercraft

Westland wessex. Quiet, comfortable and safe (sorry that is my car).

martin

Apache.

Bell UH-1 Iroquois

Loach a close second.
