Here's a brief vignette featuring the Bell 222....
Image

The Bell 222 is a helicopter built by Bell Helicopter Textron. Similar in size to the UH-1 Huey, it was designed for purely civilian use. It has twin turboshaft engines, a streamlined shape, and is available with a retractable undercarriage, though the utility-oriented 222U features fixed skids.
The Bell 222 was made famous by the television show Airwolf where the series' main character is a helicopter based on the 222 with fictional high-tech modifications such as powerful weapons and jet engines making it capable of supersonic speeds.

She's a beauty, isn't she!!! Curvy, voluptuous... I thought she reminded me of Airwolf, now I know.
An interesting read too, nice one Clipper :)

ps. If you wan't to try out a nice, well-behaved chopper, the Eurocopter Tiger from Hovercontrol is worth a try, very hard to lose control of it....

You're making that assumption before you've seen my chopper disabilities...if it's got rotors...i'll lose control... ;) I will check out the Tiger K, thanks for the lead.. :)
Thanks 2992, I've always enjoyed making these types of posts for the gang!
