The SK never really did it for me but I understand why people love it. Remember a lot of people say that the Wessex was the best thing since sliced bread......
As a 2500 hr Puma puke, I liked to get to places 30 kts faster and would look down on anything slower. When the junglies started in south armagh, I was totally impressed at the lift capability. They started doing the night USLs and the Puma did the running around by day. Blimey!! It worked!! Horses for courses (or whatever that cliche is). Right to the last, I avoided SAR. I promised never to fly anything yellow.... my EC135 is parked out there now.... I wonder if the police could do all dark blue paint jobs...
