Nostalgia: I was 6 months old my first trip in the jetranger. The 206 will bring you home to your wife and kids everynight, and if you let her down, she will sacrifice herself and still probably bring you home without a scratch on you.
We have a saying here about eurocopter products. Fun to look at fun to fly but roll it up your going to die.
I haven't flown one but my favorite machine from what I know about them has to be the Agusta 119 Koala.

A navel Gazelle

Great photos!
I never dreamt when I chose Subaru World Rally Blue for Gazelle G-HTPS that it would end upon three of them, and also 4 A109s, an EC135 and one Rotorway Exec at the last count. What a great colour - it just looks so good without any stripes or other such nonsense.

Started in an R-22, then B206, H269, A109C, A109E and now AW139.
The 139 is an awesome brute of a helicopter, even dressed up in corporate trim, and I do love flying it but the one I miss most is the B206.
We did powerline patrols in a BIII some years ago and called it 50/50 flying - 50kts at 50ft, if it quit, you got a 50/50 shot! An ex-mil instructor once told me the most important thing to know about the 206 is "how far you can f*** it up and still save it!"
