[dougdrvr]

Add the miniguns and I will agree!!

HH60G

AH yes, pruning the trees above your head and raining down hot shell casings.

This is even up for discussion?

C'mon........we all know the answer.

It was at FUL all the time

The 222/230/430. A mechanics machine and a pilots dream. Of course the Huey is up there on my list as well.

CH53. Big, loud, fast. What else do you want?

CH53. Big, loud, fast. What else do you want?

Explosions.

Of course the Stallion must be respected.

Not as fast as the Fat Girl! (CH-47 for you newbies).

It may not be the best, but the KA-50 "Werewolf" has the best name.

The one they send to get you after you ditched your jet.

Chinook might be fast but its way way way too big to take into combat at low altitude

....... unless its for special ops use...

Does that make them smaller? The special ops airframes (E+G) are the same as the slicks, only heavier with the extra gadgets. Granted, at night it's real nice to have a flir on the flight path vector and a terrain following radar with climb/dive cue. But in the day VMC there's no difference.

Quite frankly, they're more maneuverable than the H-53 (which is only slightly smaller). It's fairly irritating when you're flying the H-53 in formation with them. And on that note:

I'd like to nominate the MH-53J/M as the best helicopter in the museums.
