VF,
Nice to see you back...any mention of Robbies gets you going !
John,
If you want to look cool, then there is only one choice, your machine - the best small (looking) heli around, no question.
Others,
The 66 will be approved in Europe soon, I believe the problem relates to hydraulics.
Remember the 66 was designed this century (unlike all the other aircraft mentioned, many designed in the 1950's !), and has passed all the tough new tests, it is entirely different (look closely) to a 44. And it's brand new. I don't know about owners out there, but I like to buy new machines that haven't been thrashed by students or blokes putting out fires. Don't knock what you have not flown, that's just thick (as they say in NZ).
Just a thought !
Arrrj
PS - I am in NZ, middle bit of the North Island on a couple of days off, and there is a guy running scenics with a really nice 44, flying past my window ! I think I need to call him and have a chat about flying tomorrow...
