I'm tempted to suggest a Chinook, but that wouldn't be very P.C

Sikorsky Skycrane! 
I've flown in Chinooks, a Huey, a Jet Ranger, and a Sea King.
Huey was best fun a pilot was a nutcase.
They are all noisy basts and shake yer teeth loose.

I was lucky enough to get a trip in an RAF Puma about 10 years ago when I was a volunteer with the Air Cadets. It was a fantastic experience. I was sitting opposite the open door with only a lap belt and the flight was at times fast and low. Never to be forgotten.

Helicopters scare me.  No way in  I'd get in one.  Actually refused a ride some years back on a medivac chopper that was taking a patient to the hospital from a car wreck.  I was in EMS then..  Still don't like the bloody things.

Parachuted out of a Wessex a few times, and spent 2 hours at the controls flying around Norway mountains one winter. Used to use them on a regular basis, navy pilots would never let you down, if they said they would come and get you...they would, no matter what the conditions, the RAF on the other hand.........
