Santa Madonna, Savoia! A 'straight' L on pan-type popouts *with* skid fairings?! Boy does that bring back some memories. The current 206's just don't look right with the "six-packs" and skinny crosstubes. Right handsome helicopter, IMHO. Thanks for posting! L-models always looked better with longitudinal (i.e. non-squiggly) stripes. Makes it look, err...longer (pun intended).
