transquebecniece Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Um, no...I don't know that......hence, I'm still waiting ever so patiently. :blur: Quote
zenny Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Posted January 2, 2006 I tuned in to discovery channel early,,,,, they had a marathon of best ever episodes,,,, one on tanks, fighters, beer, bombers, best ever sport cars,,,, etc… -how were the shows ?? Example of one,,,,, after watching the one on ‘best ever sports cars’,,, It was all serious and interesting ….. Then someone decided to have a Mazda Miata in the top ten and it came in second place!! ? It beat Ferrari, Corvette etc…..…? - What does this have to do with helicopters? The air crane was impressive -to see fire fighting and emptying out peoples swimming pools so they can put out the fires… The empty CH-47 vertical climb at 2000 feet/min,,,, another of my favorites was the UH-1 segment.... they had Vietnam vets that crewed on a UH1 including the door gunner ...reunited ..then they all went for a flight. That was emotional. The Apache is impressive. The Mi26 its huge and unreal, The R-22 was cute. A good one to see on Discovery is the Helicopter episode on one of the Frontiers of Construction shows.

transquebecniece Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 I hate the Discovery Channel. Pffffffffffft! Quote
transquebecniece Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 Z? Might have to take ya up on it if the offer still stands. Quote
PedalJam Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 TQn If my memory is not totally gone you live in Colorado ? I don't know how close you live to Gateway , Colorado ? The Gateway Colorado Auto Museum just opened last year Their signature car is a Olds F88 concept car from the 50's they paid 3 million dollars for at last years Barrett / Jackson car auction. Who you say would pay this much for a 50 yr old car , or what this has to do with this thread............ The man is John S Hendricks, founder of the Discovery Channel Go check it out and demand to see the owner, then rap his knuckles and demand your tv. You might get a digitial mastered copy :up: :up: Quote
transquebecniece Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 Totally amazes me what you fellers know sometimes. How 'bout that, PedalJam! :up: I'm 4.5 hours through the most gorgeous (and treacherous this time of year) mountain passes from Gateway, which is on Colorado's Western Slope—on the edge of the Uncompahgre Plateau. I actually went on a dinosaur/fossil dig over there once! I'm impressed you knew all that! The odds of Mr. Hendricks physically being at the auto museum are like zero, but that's a route I wouldn't have thought of in a million years! Next time I have to go to Grand Junction, I'll just drop down and shoot that 'ol F88 for ya! In the meantime, I'll just wait...somehow I WILL add that episode of the Greatest Ever to my heli flick collection! (The thought of a digitally mastered copy makes me wanna initiate a letter-writing campaign however! Drool! ) Yer funny, PedalJam! I get in enough trouble as it is. Ha! Quote
Hollywood Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 thought the jet ranger would have been a little higher up...although im not a big fan of the jetbox...theres no denying that everyone out there has got some time in one at sometime in there career. two types i thought were missing...the 214 with its huge stove an paddles(it seems to have a certain mystic to it when ever one shows up at a campain fire.)...only have a few hrs on but wow...it sure is impressive if your in the circuit bucketing with it....that thing is a water moving machine...itll do circles around the s61....also the hu500...my absolute favourite...theres not a helicopter out there that ive flown that fits more like a glove....so much fun!! most of my hrs are in the 500....loved every single one. dont want to ruin it for tqn...but the number one spot was well deserved...and is also a pleasure to fly.

transquebecniece Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Iz okay, Hollywood; I already know what #1 is. It's why I want a copy of that particular episode of The Greatest Ever. You're not the first nor will ever be the last to make that last comment. And that probably goes without saying! Quote
transquebecniece Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 FINALLY! :up: The Greatest Ever: Ten Greatest Helicopters will be on the Military Channel this coming week. Yippee! And for all you noobs, it's rumored that Mr. Vertical Mag (Mike) makes an appearance. :punk: Quote
