Well said Donut King,
I think a lot of us forget where we started, and for those of us who didn't want to join the military a R22 was the only affordable option.
I've since moved on to bigger and better things but I still enjoy a run in the R22 (ignorance is bliss).
At the end of the it's a helicopter that has sold very well so it can't be all that bad.
I've heard a lot of people bag B206's but like the R22 they do the job they were designed for.
Kissmysquirrel, take one for fly I think you will enjoy.
