Inspired by Moreheaddrillers thread about favourite all-time jet fighters and because I have been a helicopter buff in my youth I'd like to know about your favourite choppers.
I'll start with mine, the classic Bell UH-1D "Huey":

That was a bad photo of him... It doesn't look like he's doing a good job of being "my" successor... ;)

It's a British slang term for an item of male genitalia.

I've flown in several types of chopper in my life, but NOTHING gives you a rush like flying in a Huey Hog with the doors locked back. Now that is one kick ass ride!!

Oh there are better rushes.
