Since all the other helicopter movie clichees has already been proposed, why not add the classic Hueys and Fortunate son combination as well

'Fortunate Son' a 1969 track from rock band (or skiffle group, for those of advancing years) Creedence Clearwater Revival, popular with 'cab drivers' of the day in a remote corner of SE Asia

I second the fortunate son, turbine wind up/wind down for take off and landing. However, may I propose the “pew pew” sound with sparks from said abused, mistreated and inaccurately represented god of the sky? Oh, don’t forget the masses of beepers, horns and alarms. May I suggest you travel on a simulator recurrency trip (with a Trapper type who apparently “invented” helicopters (but their knowledge is secret) ) to gain the amazing multilayered cacophony of sounds.

I recall a friend posting some photos of a 76 hulk being used on a film set. ( I think in Vancouver or Toronto )
I have sent him an email asking for info.
I will post any info he sends me.

1. I received this reply from my friend in Vancouver.
2. “The retired airframe along with a second one are owned by a guy in Vancouver who supplies them to film productions. When i spoke with him briefly as he was loading it onto a flatbed after filming he told me he bought the 2 off CHC.”
3. Anyhow that may be a clue to narrowing the search. A lot of films are shot in BC. So anyone with reasonable contacts in the business around Vancouver may well know who owns the 2 76 airframes.
