Exercising the [Woman's Prerogative]. :D

The Kamov KA-V100 is now the helicopter of choice.

For the aircraft design that has stood the test of time it would have to be the Gazelle, otherwise it would be the MD Explorer.

Best looking: Gotta be the 222 (Air Wolf)
Ugly: Brantly B2B (Yuk)

sexy machines
 

Gotta admit, that Bell errrr........AB139 looks FINE!

However, can anyone else see the "lines" of an S76 in the fuselage?

But I may be biased, presently flying the 76!

Nothing sexier than the KEVLAR KIDDY KAR!!!! ( other than Nicole Kidman..........errr Nick.....errr Nicole.............!!!!!

I can't believe no-one's said the JetRanger yet.

To be fair, the best aspect I ever had on one was when I was sitting in it in the hover, the August sun behind us and our shadow in front. I suppose anything would look good in those circumstances.

Bell 222 and the A 109 are the best looking ships!!!

And the best is: They are also beloved by the maintenance personal, because the ships are the best insurance against unemployment.

Both beautys are better on design and flying characteristics than on maintenance status.

OK: That's also the best , because if the ships are grounded, pilots could have a beer and a funny (mostly longer) time.

Really the best !

Two helicopters like we love it: sharp design, good to fly, jobs for our companions!

At last: the passengers are really in love with the interior.

Best Looking Single Place

The turbine powered single place Helicycle produced by BJ Schramm has good lines for a small ship.
Several are now flying or near completion.

Depends on what we are going to do with it. If I'm going to spray with it:
1st- a Lama
2nd- OH-58
3rd- Huey

If we are talking cross country, show it off to the girls:
1st- S76
2nd- 430
3rd- 407

Iknow, I know, but I'm just a cropduster.

The AS 365 in the right colours does it for me.:E
Or maybe a AS 350? :ok:
EC145 not to bad either!!:hmm:

Crop Duster........stand up and be proud! The Llama should win in any "manly" category!

Da-ve' Jackson is a woman?

The BO105 on low skids looks, well, low. But on high skids it looks fantastic! Like a giant prehistoric insect poised to attack...

Most helicopters look better on high skids than on low skids. The JetRanger, on low skids, looks like it's had a hard landing.

The Hughes 500 on low skids is just wrong... like a Porsche on shopping cart wheels.

Roger on the Lama... the rest pale in comparison,

:cool:

My vote goes to:

1st: A-109 :ok:
2nd: Bell 427
3rd: Bell 430
4th: SA 342 Gazelle

Are you all mad? The MD902? It’s a flying Transit van

StevieTerrier
Which bits of the 902 are the “excellent mechanical“ ones?

Now the best looking……and probably the best ride
The 365N………..the Cameron Diaz of helicopters ;)

Rich Lee,http://www.UniCopter.com/Temporary/kiss.gif Not quite yet. There are a couple of operations to go.

:D :D

The old fart checks in.
 

I’m staring at models of the Sikorsky HH-3, the Seaking, the CH-47 the Hughes 500-E, the Bell 412 the R-22 and the Sikorsky HO3-S (In Coast Guard colors-International Yellow) and the HO3-S (S-51)wins hands down.

:ok:

Best looking aircraft designs...

1. Got to be S76 with a picture of a reclining nude woman on the side. This was on a poster back in the '80s. Her curves really blended in well...

2. Bell 222/230/430

Best paint job making the aircraft look attractive...

1. Pegasus, the BK-117 that had the winged horse painted on its side.

2. The Mil-24 that had the hawk painted on the side.

3. Niagra Heli's 412's with all of the colors of the rainbow painted over a silver base.

Are you sure that's not a 407

Only photo I could fnd to show the colour scheme. :D

C'mon guys & gals

Everybody knows the sexiest and meanest machine by far is sadly no longer with us.

A tragedy at Farnborough 1974 that I'd rather forget took it and it's two pilots from us.:(

The S-67 Blackhawk still is absolutely TOPS.

Wunper :ok:

PS next sexiest is the Cobra prototype with the nifty retractable skid gear and the curved canopy
