can anyone recommend any other video's showing the normal use of helicopter? i.e. non war stuff.

I haven't had the chance to see it myself...
But I have been told that it should be quite spetacular.

Just went to see this today and thought it rather good. Anyone know anyone involved in the production of it? Be interesting to hear their stories...

Cheers,
Peter

From what I saw it seems to focus on products by those that pumped funding into it. Would have been nicer to have seen a lot more of the unsung helicopter work that we all know is out there included.

There is a kiwi company working on a video covering all sorts of civil helicopter work around the globe. Should be a good production when it is completed.

The video quality is very good. Nice pictures. (I viewed the DVD version)

Content-wise it is a rather bland product.

I'm afraid I have to agree with that it looked that the sponsors were promised some nice footage and kind words. Very basic explanations of how helicopters work, nothing advanced. Not much action.
