Thanks for posting the very clear picture, Tiger. It doesn't look as big as it did in the show.
I've only once seen a Bell 222 for real here in Australia and I thought it was a Huey going over because of its sound. It was very, very high up and I zoomed right in with a camera, blew it up on the computer and couldn't believe my eyes that it was a 222, right out of my childhood fantasies of flying Airwolf. Hearing its true sound shattered the illusion, never realised it would sound like a Huey with those big two main rotor blades.

Edit: Oh yeah, I wanted to ask. Does the left-side pilot have a dificult time sliding in with that thing mounted at the front of the seat?
