Sometimes said chopper even has a fenestron - and we all know what that sounds like.
But some goddam lazy foley artist has dubbed in either:
*the sound of a UH-1, or even worse
*a Bell 47!
Maybe I'm getting anal in my old age?
But to my ears - your modern helicopter sounds a darn sight better.
Why can't they get it right!!!
You mean you've only just noticed? It's always been like that.
