Max,
Impeccable taste and succinctly put, I'm firmly in your camp! Parked a Chinny next to a Halo a few years ago. I walked about two hundred yards away and turned round. Never, ever, seen a Chinook look so small! The Hokum is a true beast, designed with Heli v Heli in mind, so where does it fit in my list?
1. Chinook - all the cab you'll ever need!
2. Hokum - all the cab you'll ever want!
3. UH1 - Every helo pilot should fly one...
4. Gazelle - So simple, so fast, so fun.....
5. YAH-56 Cheyenne - What a concept!
Oh, and yes, I'd love to fly the Warthog too!!!
