BV asked us which one we would rather fly.....and there is exactly one answer to that.....the Chinook!

Once a Helicopter Pilot does a Max Power Vertical Climb with full left pedal applied in an empty Chinook ending at 3,000 feet AGL then descending vertically doing right pedal turns back to the landing site...he is "Hooked" for the rest of his time in this World.

Followed by the S-58T/Wessex, Huey, and MD-500.
