Recollections: My brother John bought a Bell 47. The helicopter in the TV show MASH. Why, I don’t know, and I don’t think he owned it very long. My involvement consisted of a single flight and, to be honest, I was terrified the whole time. Maybe it was me, but the helicopter made some of the strangest noises as we flew around. I was glad when it was over. Sorry, brother.
