Jetranger

I've never understood the common reference to the Jetranger as a Jetbox.

It seems a little derogotary and surely, from the majority of opinions, doesn't deserve it.

In my humble opinion it has the most attractive lines of ANY helicopter produced to date. A long way from resembling a box. It's design is timeless - demonstrated by the early 70s adverts where it appears alongside a modern car of the day [which would now be laughed at]. Can anybody post the advert?

R44 replacing the Jetranger? Not in my book. My passengers will always be happier paying a little more for a more robust, reliable helicopter and confidence inspiring design. Long live the Bell Jetranger!
