Helicopter/Films: remakes

If they ever wanted to do a remake of Magnum PI, I would hope they'd use an AS-350 as that is the popular heli of choice by tour operators such as Air Kauai, Air Maui and Blue Hawaiian fly.

If they made a remake of Airowlf (as mentioned in other threads ) then maybe uprate to a Bell 430 perhaps?

Getting back to Airwolf remember the episode where they used a supposed armed S-76 called HX-1?
Well there is an armed version of the S-76 called the H-76 Eagle SIkorsky demonstrated in the late 80s and theres an armed S-76 in use with the Phillippine Air Force Tactical Helicopter Wing.
If anyone wants to see a bit of film footage of the H-76 demonstrator over the desert during trials, then look no further than the first episode and intro to War of the Worlds in the late 80s where the supposed Martians who took over the body of an army pilot.
