While we are on about names, is it true that the EH101 started life as European Helicopter Industries 01 and a typo by a clerk resulted in it's current designation?.
Incidentally, the ATC in the US still has the AS350 designated as a Squirrel. Personally, I lile the name squirrel. It's a warm, fuzzy creature and needs a lot of nuts to keep it going. Besides, close to the ground, on a windy day, it behaves exactly like one.
