Recollections: My first flight in the BO-105 was as part of a staff field trip to the Swedish Flight Test Center in Linkoping, Sweden.  I then flew it during recurrent training at the National Test Pilot School.  It is very maneuverable and quick.  I would compare it generally to the EC145 but nicer to fly.
