My favorite helicopter. As a child and still in adulthood I am always wishing to fly on board the Bell 212. In the 1970's I used to watch them overflying Mexico City. Mexican President Luis Echeverria owned one. Unfortunately Bell 212 had been reaching the end of its life and being retired from service. It has been replaced by 4 blades Models 412 406 429.
great rotorcraft and the legendary sound of a twin blade Huey

Haha.....the Bell 222A is one of the most gutless under powered A/C I've ever flown the 222 UT is a bit better but the 212 will live on forever.

That whomp-whomp sound is pure music when you see one for real!
I agree, it's a gorgeous helicopter, but the Bell 222A is the only Bell(e) for me!
