Please, Santa......

[ShyTorque]

Been looking at the forum tonight and thought it was rather serious.

It's nearly Christmas, so if you wanted to put a particular helicopter on your letter to Santa, what would it be, and why? ;)

One of these - for the same reason as I drive an Italian car. But it would have to come complete with a nice pilot until I got the rating :E :ok:

Cheers

[TheFlyingSquirrel]

[Whirlygig]

I got one of those a couple of years ago 'cept made out of coke cans and shaped (pretty accurately) like a Huey!

Cheers

Whirls


PS - TFS, I hope you realise that there's no such word as "funner" :D

[Aser]

Oh please Santa... PLEASE!!!

[whatsarunway]

I dissagree.

An S76 is Funner than a 109grand!

see. it works

[Whirlygig]

Not sure about that! Can we have some adjudication here please?

Anyway, the 109 Grand is prettier and I'm a girl so that's allowed!

Cheers

Whirls




But words like "funner" are not! :p

[whatsarunway]

Ok, well if its not funner its definatly betterer:cool:

[wheatbix]

An AS 350 B3 - its my dream helicopter haha. Its fast, cheap(er) to operate and has plenty of power: what more could a man want.

A grand and S76 are all sexy, but the operating costs of them :ugh: :yuk: :eek:

[squirrel350]

Would have to say a Bell 430 or a 429 and if santa cant fit it in his sack I would take a AS350B3 or a Eurocopter EC 120/130/135/145 (model doesnt worry me).

HAHAHAHA or all of the above.

[Sandy Toad]

Not sure which heli is much more betterest but the pirots in Aser's post would surely help most pirots with their election..... :}

Certainly, I'll provide it..

Since you are biased on two fronts..

I hope that's not like the beast with two backs :E

Cheers

Whirls


Yup .... probably barred!

[Pandalet]

Since we're on the gimme gimme gimme...

I'd like one Mi-26, along with type ratings for me and my 3 mates so we can fly it. I'd also like to win the lottery, so I can afford (just) to fly it home.

Happy Crimbles, you lot!:ok:

[bladepitch]

to be realistic.

i want a chopper thats starts with a Tick... Tick.... Tick...... :p

instead of a turn of the key. :{


and in my dreams, S-76. some of the pics of ones in britian doing corporate work are sweet!

[Hilico]

EC120 for Christmas. In fact, on the 9th December (one of the nicest days of the month so far) I did have one, for about 90 minutes, with the kids in the back with their cameras while flying over our house. Bloomin' brilliant!

[toolguy]

MD500 - the fun-ner-est, for my fun side. :)
A Blackhawk for my wild side. :}
A S76A for my fancy side. :cool:

[TeeS]

Ah Aser

Now you see why you should never operate a helicopter with 2 female pilots!

A pair of broken fingernails and the aircraft is grounded for the day:) !

Rather than Santa bringing ME a helo, I'm wishing he drops one off at my generous neighbor's. My neighbor is always letting me borrow various tools, etc, so I assume the same will apply with his new toy. Plus then, most importantly, I won't own the damn thing !

[pumaboy]

: Mine would have to be either the classic AS332L Super Puma or the Boeing 47-SD Chinook.
The old ones are always the best!!!:) :D :ok:

[Robbo Jock]

Someone should tell those girls that, if they want a manicure, they should start the blades first, then move their fingernails into the disk. :}

[Gordy]

All I want is Whirled Peas and.......

gazelle - fun and I could afford 2 run it

blackhawk - the idea of flying round fast at night at low level has a strange appeal (though no-one tell me mother I said that - yes mom, helicopters ARE safe... and I fly them sensibly... And yes, of COURSE I keep to speed limits... :hmm: ) lol

s-92 / aw139 - I think CHC would be more likely to consider me for what must be the best job in the world if I was also willing to supply my own SAR helicopter

Merry christmas everyone!

[SASless]

I don't reckon these two sweets ever had to sleep offshore with a bunch of Cajun oil rig hands in the GOM! Tell me there is a glass ceiling in the helicopter industry.:rolleyes:

[flyby_heli]

I wrote Santa a letter last year, asking him oh so nice for a EC-135 to play with, but for some reason i never got an answer........

Merry christmas all! :)
