Re: A quick few questions
I've been trying to find the answer to my question, but have failed so far and this seemed to be a good thread for it.
To the Admin, is there a negative score that will get an asshat kicked? I usually wait to point them out around the -30 mark.
Another week and I will have my sweet return to BF2.
Until then.

Re: A quick few questions
It was the best show. The guys in my class (at a heli training school) tried to figure out what type of heli Airwolf is, but to no definite avail. So unfortuantely we can't get our Type License in one. Any heli that can go Mach 1 must be an experimental.

A bell 222
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airwolf_%28helicopter%29
The flying Airwolf helicopter was actually a Bell 222. The Bell 222 has two Lycoming turboshaft engines, a streamlined shape, and is available with either retractable undercarriage or fixed skids. It is usually flown single-pilot (optional dual controls are available), and can be configured for corporate/executive, EMS or utility transport missions. The aircraft can be configured for accommodations of up to 10, including pilot.
The airframe used for Airwolf was serial number 47085 (registration number N3176S). The Bell 222, sometimes unofficially called a Bell 222A,[1] was the fifth-to-last built before the 222B was released. During filming of the series the helicopter was owned by JetCopters Inc. in Van Nuys, CA.[citation needed]
After the show was cancelled the modifications were removed (now owned by a private collector) from the actual helicopter. It was repainted and eventually sold to the German helicopter charter company, Hubschrauber-Sonder-Dienst (aka HSD Luftrettung and Blue Helicopter Alliance), and given the registration number D-HHSD.[2] While operating as an air ambulance the helicopter crashed in a thunderstorm on June 6, 1992,[3] killing its three passengers.[4]
A new, full-size replica of the Airwolf helicopter was created for display in the Helicopter Headquarters museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee that opened in August 2006, using a non-flying Bell 222, and molds made from the originals used in the show.[5][6] The museum was unsuccessful, and has offered the replica for sale through eBay.[7]
Really I was nuts about that show.
