Reviews

[Darius Billings · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite helicopters are the police helicopter and the air ambulance (or rescue helicopter).

The coaxial rotors were pretty interesting because there weren’t just two main rotors, but they were placed on top of each other.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the CH-47 Chinook before. Some had lots of passengers (like the Chinook could carry 47), but others could only carry one pilot and no passengers.
