As the previous topic was closed I decided that this forum needs to have a little more love for helicopters. What is a better way then showing off your favorite helicopter? I’ll start off with mine.
If a bunch of you know me you know I love Robinson’s so here you go. My favorite helicopter has always been the Robinson R-44 Raven II. My dad owns one right now and I am currently training in it. I love all the power it’s got over the 22 and the price compared to the 66. This helicopter is widely used in south Texas for wildlife game captures which is what my dad does as a job. I am part of the ground crew so I get some pretty good shots.
My school is right next to the airport registered as T82. Those helicopters fly right over our school coming in and boy they are loud. One time one came in so low it shook the building to where it was really noticeable
Airbus something or another, used by the two major medivac services around here. Party because it looks pretty slick to me, and not in small part because it’s the only helicopter I see regularly… 😂
Oh my gosh the 407 has so much energy while auto rotating. I spotted a life flight 407 auto rotate at my home airport while picking up some helicopter fuel and they literally have so much time before having to touch down. Way smoother then a Robinson
