In spite of its few minor foibles, there's a whole lot of reasons
why I'd still rather be in a Jet Ranger.

Thanks Bart. I've not read very many complaints about a Jetranger and
most all of the ships in my area are 206s of one model or another. I'm sorry
to say I've never seen an MD 500 flying or ready for operation at any of our
local airports. I've been curious as to why it is a less popular helo if
that's even the caseG We do have some NOTARS
working Lifeflight here but the venerable Bell is still well represented.
