Who is this git?

I know the 'worlds greatest helicopter' has been discussed plenty.
I have a couple of questions I would rather have experienced pilots answer:
Why no S76?
When did the Lynks become a 'production' helicopter?
Why no Blackhawk?
Why no Astar??
Why no H369?
Why no Mil 17? Hind??
What about the Puma?

Shawn Coyle I know and respect, the Mil 26 pilot I can laugh with, the historian knows his stuff, Dan Reyno knows his business.
BUT who is Q. Smith? Why is he the WORLD CHAMPION of PILOT and what is his history with helicopters. He sure has plenty of sarcastic comments about machines I would gather he has never even cleaned.
Is the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP of helicopter pilots much like the 'world series of baseball' for Britain? Us Aussies should get our own world champs together and do it somewhere challenging like the highlands of PNG, with a 200ft line thrown in, a bunch of brahman to collect, a drum of gas under a tree 100nm's out there with a buggered Garmin 50 and a dodgy drum pump with only one screwdriver somewhere under the seat, a night rescue off the GB reef in a longranger, some venison recovery. You get my drift?
