Is that a flying pig I just saw??

Most people that know me know that I *loathe* helicopters (I mean, they're just not "natcheral" are they??)

So here's a surprise ... some freeware offerings for MSFS (whose chopper flight modelling is unbelievably awful - you need an external app "AirlandFS" to make them even half work):

Here's a Robinson that hasn't actually crashed ... yet:

This one's so good it doesn't even need a pilot!

One for Splitpin:

Needless to say, I was back in my fixed wing aircraft in a flash!

These Eastern Europeans sure make pretty aircraft, don't they? :D :D :D ... An-2, Wilga, Airtruk ... plenty more to choose from - and I love them all, just like a good mother should!!

I'd like to quote the great Tim Costly RNZAF here

'Some guys fly maritime,
think it's a respectable life.
But if you're out on the ocean,
and you find yourself in strife.
They might find you,
and they might take photos too.
But if you actually want to get rescued,
then there's fu*k all they can do.

Give me a Huey, Any day'

Well, there's pigs, and there's pigs. These two are in the RAN Museum at HMAS Albatross - The French just can't help themselves - they gotta have style!
