madman1145, of course I don't solely base the selection of the helicopter on this thread, otherwise I'd be a madman
but since I don't have any experience with Agusta 109s, it's always interesting to hear what fellow pilots have to say. It's rather part of the selection process. I take the feedback from this thread with a grain of salt, but at the same time I think most info is based on pilot's experiences, so it's good info and interesting to hear about it. I also talk to operators and check performance data (mainly HOGE, HIGE).
