OK,OK- I'll admit that I also like exagerating
Although 2 of the B2s I've flown could pick up 1100KG at 25degC and Sea level. I'm not saying it did it easy
And yes I'm sure the seats do matter, but I have done a few fires and have never been asked to carry more than 4 pax
And yes...I like ALL helicopters-Just don't like flying Robos
