I don't remember, it's been a while, but they MIGHT have been Dauphins-sleek ass Eurocopters with retractable gear.

A man after my own heart. :D

I see so many errant apostrophes here & all over the Internet that I've started using them myself. :o

You see it so many times it becomes second nature.

It's debatable whether Dan was in fact wrong. If the apostrophe is used to indicate missing letters in a word - heli's meaning helicopters - I think this would be grammatically correct.

Agreed,

But, for the record, real helicopter pilots (like me!) call them "helos" (pronounced he-low) not "helis", "heli" just sounds... well... wimpy!

I'm not trying to start anything, that post is just a general FYI to everyone who says "helis" and "heli".
