The shape is all wrong for a Bell 47. It also had an open famework & the covered in version was not developed until much later. I know very little about helos but my first thought was that it's a Sikorsky S-51. I'm sticking with that. Wink

PS. Oops I just checked out the Bell 47B. I told you I don't know much about helos. Embarrassed

I gotta hand it to you CRJ, that is a good pick. I can't wait for my seniority to come up in the CAP rankings so they will teach me to fly the beaver we've got on wheels.

I personally like the Catalina.
Has anyone made up theyre mind as wether too make a Spit. Floatplane for FS9 yet?
Lastly, I think there was more than one C-47 floatplane.
(Check Janes for info)

Some say my pinky toe was replaced with a fountain pen, and that I love to ride on nuclear bombs with a saddle. All I know is.... I'm called THE STIG!!!!
