  2. The Racer looks really cool and fun .. that S-97 tho is like nothing I've ever seen.. id love to see that thing with a chin-mounted 30mm gun and some wingstubs with hellfires 😉

  3. The H160 is without a doubt is one of my favorite helicopter I've seen in the intro. I'd definitely see them as a military/ medical chopper. I am a huge fan of the helicopters themselves, and never rode in them. Credit to the car channel for making the best vids of all time

  4. The sikorski king stallion has two engines with..you said 75 hp each? You actually said that..and didn't realize what you were saying?

  5. I enjoyed the video and my preferred helicopter is the Airbus H160. It's blade structure are unique and quieter than other helicopters. The colors and trim go beautifully together. Wish I was much younger to learn to pilot one of these helicopters and afford to purchase one in the black and white color scheme. It's a beautiful flying machine. Probably the Eurocopter H175 would have ample room for medivac service and Police work. Western Australia is a vast state but we have two Medivac and Police helicopters. At least two more of each helicopters would be more beneficial for the state.

  6. VRT-500, MI-38, KA-62, Ansat, etc Don't you like Russian helicopters? Also, you could've added the Curti Zephir, stunning machine.

  7. I want a helicopter that has a P.T.Z. camera so the passenger's can photograph and or video their house as we fly over it and cool landmarks for a life activity saved on a SD CARD and can enjoy it at home after the trip is over.
