I took a sightseeing ride on it down in Orlando Florida back in October of 1997.
Now I'd like to know what kind it was. Thanks.

Looks like N205RV, a Robinson R44 Astra, mfr s/n 205.

This aircraft was subsequently re-registered N447RC and now calls
Washington state home, operated by Helicopters Northwest. I've seen
it a few times over the last four years.
