Of course we can''t forget the flying skills of Charles Bronson as he risked life and limb to rescue a friend out of a Mexican prison. I think it was a 47 or a Lama, but anyway with only a few hours instruction and BOTH hands on the stick he managed to pull it off.

Some of the better footage ive seen lately is the Imax film Straight Up Helo''s in Action, remastered in dvd form for home viewing

PedalJam, in breakout, chuckie was trying to learn on a 47... i remember him asking the young IP if he would ever be as good as him... the young lad answers, "sir, you''ll never be as good as me!!!"

then chuckie suckered him into bringing the boss''s AII to the forest where he steals it and flies off to rescue the good guy!!!

Jimmy, James, Jim, Jimbo, what was up with that whole leisure suit thing in the seventies? I need an opponent with Mojo!

Speaking of mojo, how is the mysterious Jinx, ole boy? Good shag, that?

 

[James Bond]

Another helicopter movie was a chase/bad-guy/good guy movie years ago where they end up in a giant open pit mine -possibly Bute Montana or some where like that. If I recall one was a Hughes 500 the other a 206. I think at one point one of them hides behind a waterfall and then in a cave.
No wonder the public have a misconception of the rotary world - or any facet of aviation for that matter

Hey G-1, you ever get your MACH 2 pin? Seems you used to work on the widowmaker, and coincidently, that is my favourite single engine aircraft! (After the Schweizer of course!!).
Worked at a museum back home, where we had a good old CF-104D, that we ran in a test house. Coolest thing I''ve ever been in for sure!

Anyhow, those starfighter scenes in the right stuff were cool!

Albert Ross, nice play on words - "remote" place.

412, even a chick magnet is useless if it drags itself in a dry pool.
