My neighbors at our family bay home recently put their house on the market. Somebody came to check the place out a few nights ago...by helicopter. I wanna know what kind of helicopter that is...problem is, I don’t know shit about helicopters. Help me out here.

If these guys buy the house, they better bring us a damn nice bottle of wine next time we host a neighborhood party.

Edit- it may help to know at least 4 people came in the helicopter. Might have been like 5-6, but at least 4. Also, helicopter was black (that probably doesn’t help), and I’m like 95% sure it has an exposed tail rotor, not an enclosed one. Also the top rotor looks like it had 3 blades in the photo, but it had 4.

It’s either a Bell or Sikorsky 76. Tough to see.

Better assume Airwolf or Blue Thunder, just to be on the safe side.

The next time I start bitching about my neighbor’s leaf blower at 7am on a Saturday, please stop me. The 1% problems are much worse than my simple First World Problems.

Oppo continues to amaze the hell out of me with its incredible group knowledge.

I always liked the A-stars, they were always nice and comfy inside.. vs the usual jet rangers rode in. Plus they could sling more gear.
