As every plank-driver knows, the reason helicopters fly, is that they're so ugly the earth repells them... With this in mind, I find it hard to have a competition on good looks
IMHO I have always found that the beauty and looks of machines can be so much more than flowing lines and nice angles. If a helicopter is built for a specific task (K-max for example) and performs it very well, there is a beauty in performing the task that has nothing to do with good looks. Or a SAR S61 standing on the apron: Just knowing its purpose and and the skill involved makes it look outstanding, in my eyes.
Anyway, with that said, I put my vote on the 430 with wheels, but that will probably change tomorrow.
BTW, what do FW-pilots know about looks?

It\'s obviously a new day already...
Because my vote actually goes to the EC130.
