jetbox Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 So, what’s the consensus of people on the forum? What do you think the top 10 helicopters are?? That's such a dangerous question to ask on this forum!! Of course the only helicopter that matters is the Astar!! Fire at will! Quote
Swinger Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 are we supposed to vote on actual valid reasons why a helicopter should be in the top ten, or is it just a flash/dream helicopter that nobody would work in the industry and get away with it. As far as I'm concerned the Comanche fits the bill for the latter, but if I was to pick an actual working mans helicopters, all the stars line up in the galaxy and point to, you guessed it, the A-star.

amodao Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 A-STAR is the best helicopter of all time (except the D model that is)! Quote
Guest sharky Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 I can't believe that that some of them were called 'ugly' No respect! Quote
mtnhopper Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 amodao Ya mean the (gaystar) Just Kiddin :up: Quote
helicopterjim Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 A-STAR is the best helicopter of all time (except the D model that is)! Is not the D model the only Astar? The rest are called Ecureil. Quote
helidude Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 A-STAR is the best helicopter of all time (except the D model that is)! Not sure how you figure that Amadeo. Lately, the LTS 101 has been just as reliable (if not more) than the Arriel, at a fraction of the cost to operate, uses less fuel, burns cleaner (if you have the smokeless combustion liner) and best of all, you don't have to send it to an overhaul shop so Turbomeca can bend you over and stick it to you at a minimum of $150000 US. Thanks but no thanks, we've been operating two of them for the last 6 years and you can rest assured that the only thing wrong with the LTS 101 is the troubles it had 20 years ago and the bad reputation it gets from people who know nothing about it!

amodao Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 Helidude, I remember the swearing and frustration that we caused you each time the oil went acid or the blade shift inspection was bad. Those telephone calls were good for those who were trying to learning bilingual swear words. So I think you are probably looking at them through different glasses now that you are the big cheese! Ha ha ha ha.............. Who would of thought! Now get back to work, how can you justify all of the hours you spend looking at this web page when you should be working...... Quote
bubba Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 A-STAR is the best helicopter of all time (except the D model that is)! I'm with you buddy!!!!!!! AS350 ECUREUIL All the way!!!(except d model as well) :up: :up: :up: Quote
Helilog56 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 Hey, maybe somebody can enlighten me as to what a "Super D" is? Just heard about them a short while ago..... Quote
