HEMS A109? No thanks!

I may be wrong but I think that BolkowBill’s gripe was more to do with the standard of Flying/Journalism rather than which machine is better than the other (I’m sure there are numerous opinions on that). I too read the article and thought that it read as if it was written for a Sunday supplement rather than a dedicated aviation magazine. I have also read other articles written on rotary aircraft by the same writer/Mag and came to the same conclusion. Maybe her brief is to keep it interesting to those other than Rotary Pilots, I don’t know. A few months ago there was an article/test flight involving (I think) a MD Explorer that she wasn’t allowed to fly !!
