You are very right there Whirly.

But why?

Helicopters aren't useful for long distance touring (unless you have very serious money to burn).

They are much more useful than fixed wing for business flight but one still needs the IFR option and that comes awfully expensive in a heli, in terms of both capital cost (a twin turbine) and a heli IR.

So what does it?

I cannot help noticing that the "scenery" on the ground is a lot more interesting
