The S-70 Blackhawk is a pretty impressive heli too (ours
were civvie registered with the -C engines).
21 pob, 2 hrs fuel and single engine OGE hover was nice to have. So was the 144%/144% Tq (max transient power) vertical takeoff performance. The quickest elevator in the south!
The cabin load of RAF Wessex pilots we demo'd it to didn't stop talking about it for weeks afterwards. Mind you, they used to takeoff along the runway, we took off over the fence and almost pinned 'em to their seats!
