This beautiful Ag ustaWestland AW139 is parked where the visiting private jets usually hang out.

Stunning.  I’d take a rotor wing over a fixed wing any day.

Hmmm....

HeliFlite charters spin-wings for executives, and their fleet is rather nice indeed:

8 rotors is a pretty big guy.

That actually IS a private jet.

Just a really scary one :D

Agusta, not Augusta. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made that mistake. But yes, a gorgeous a/c. Boeing is pitching a militarized version, the MH-139, as a replacement for the Bell UH-1. Interesting, because I thought that’s what the Blackhawk was for. The Blackhawk will likely be replaced by a tilt-rotor.

So you’re saying it’s a flying Ford Econoline LWB?

I mean that was what the Blackhawk was for. Unless you’re the Marines I guess.
