I'm not sure if this is representative of all Gazelle's, but I went for a spin in an ex-warbird one, and it was very agricultural; built for hauling troops, not for comfort or style. The one I went in couldn't even take a noise cancelling headset. But in general I do like the Gazelle. We just need somebody to make a modern version of one, with a smaller engine, lightweight fully composite fuselage, modern aerodynamics and retractable undercarriage. Oh wait.

I suggest you Google “Helionix”.
Looks nice, yet they are still installing the venerable VEMD pixel art museum pieces in brand new $6m 2023 Airbus Corporate Helicopter machines.
