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

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!

But words like "funner" are not!

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!

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!

better yet
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 !
