Flying Choppers

[Reaper]

I fly helicopters on the side, and for fun, and I took Shaunmac another member here flying today in one of the choppers that I fly. Here are a few pics. The helo is an R-22 used for flight instruction.

Perfect size for its purpose of flight instruction, or personal transport. Actually there are some smaller than that one. There is a four seat version called the R-44 which has a bigger cabin than a Bell Jetranger.

Hey Reaper:
You know a St Louis based chopper pilot named Tink Sullivan by any chance?

Max speed is 101 knots, which is a little more than 116 MPH

No don't think I know him, think I have heard the name before though. Who does he fly for?
