Title: Sinister looking Helicopters
Post by: Angry Turnip on February 08, 2009, 02:44:03 PM

What do you think is the most sinister looking Helicopter you have photographed?

I think this shot of an EC-135 G-VGMB makes it look pretty mean-unfortunatly it is back lit, but gives the heli a very menacing look.

Has to be the Apache - unfortunately I don't have any scanned so can't post them.

Where did you take this one? Nice one btw.

I took the pic at Sligo Airport last year-I believe it`s based at St.Angelo,but I`m sure Vortex could tell us.

It belongs to Mr S Finlay,one of the two EGAB lease holders.He is home based (Augher) but visits the airport regularly.

I think it would look better if it was black & white (AIRWOLF) colours.
sure looks like it.

Just to add it was sold for $75,000 a few years ago, that was the real airwolf not the model.

Blue Thunder was blue.
It had an interesting feature - Whisper Mode - but why did they not just keep it on all the time?

And it also made the helicopter invisible - no one ever seemed to notice this big blue helicopter outside the window  ;D ;D
