The opportunity to fly the Bell 47 should never be cast aside. In spite of its longevity we may not get the chance forever.

Having started on the Hiller 12B and 12C then moved onto the Bell 47 with Alan Bristow's flying circus I count myself fortunate

The many other types after that, have never eclipsed the Bell and the Hiller time for sheer thrill - save the Westland Whirlwind.

Now we're talking!

The Robinsons are fine machines and have done so much to get people into helicopters and if I get the chance one day I would like to give 'em a try. As a lazy S76 driver I would probably make a hash of it. This game is a great leveller!
