First helicopter i ever flew in and i was smitten - my first love. I did not spend a lot of time in them as a pilot - only a few hundred hours, but they were some of the hours that i most enjoyed and that taught me the most about helicopters.

The 206 is a good, solid, honest, predictable lady and whilst her French counterpart has her beaten in many areas i will never love her the same way! If you took liberties with her then she would slap your face but she would not kick you in the balls unless you really deserved it.

As things stand, it's not likely that i will fly a Jet-box again and that saddens me.
