Hey Scissor,

You're clearly and even-keeled gent. Many a subscriber would have launched their own salvo in return. Good for you.

It's horses for courses, I think . . . buy the thing that suits your circumstances best.

I have to say, though, that dual bench front seat in a 350 or 355 is wonderful . . . but caution any errant passenger loader who doesn't put the 'hottie' next to me!!!

Bit late on this one.

I fully agree with Gas Producer......hotties ALWAYS next to the pilot. It's a CofG thing.

oh yeah didnt count the drivers seat...if one pax is a hottie you can take 8 as she can sit on the pilots lap
I guess you meant something like this. I just love this pic.

Well, regarding lateral CG, this would solve the problem (there are more nice pics but more of a glamour variety, off topic)

R44 re Turbine

I've flown both and I would much prefer flying a $5M dollar turbine than an R44. The R44 is to me adversely affected by any sort of wind or turbulence. It can be very uncomfortable on occasions. Having said that I think the R44 is very good for the money and is very cheap to run. Horses for courses really.
