Sinister looking Helicopters
« 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.

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
