The Hangar Contest Sweepstakes (Helicopter Heads)

[LJS1993]

Okay gentlemen it's time for another sweepstakes. This time we are talking helicopters. Before I continue let me state that yes, I know, the included helicopters are by no means equal in value or performance. However perhaps they will each appeal to some in different ways. Plus it's just fun, or at least in my mind, imagining what type of aircraft in a perfect scenario one could obtain.

 

[N801BH]

None of the above.......


Heli's are dangerous...

 

[moonshine]

MD500

 

[Sac Arrow]

I have yet to see a winner from the previous threads. I think it's rigged, like the lottery. I'm not playing.

I want my money back.

Ah come on. Look at the fine choices that are out there. I mean the MD-500 in Theodore Calvin trim is truly a rare option!!!!!!

 

[LJS1993]

MD500

Ah a fine choice indeed especially considering it's a Theodore Calvin model.

 

[Henning]

AH-64, fully armed.

 

[Skylane81E]

The most expensive one, on the market immediately.

 

[Direct C51]

AH-64, fully armed.

I have to agree with this. Not many other helicopters worth flying.

 

[darrell]

AH-64 is great for a static display. (Having spent many years working on AH-64s, I'm biased)

 

[Threefingeredjack]

MD500 since it is the only one with any useful load or range.


If I had my choice it would be my old love the HH3F

 

[pbramlett]

No Hiller or Bell Jet Ranger!?!?

 

[silver-eagle]

I took the MD500 only because it is a turbine. If the Talon was a turbine, I might go for that one. Rarely do I need an aircraft with more than a 200 mile range or more than 2 people. Any would fit my needs but I would rather a turbine over a piston anything.

I may have crazy logic because I don't know all that much about helicopters, but I chose the R44. Clearly, the MD 500 is the most capable, but if I were to win one of these, I would want to 1) earn my helicopter license in it and 2) sell it as fast as I could before the taxes were due. For these reasons, the R44 seemed the best solution.
