The PAF's fleet of UH-1 Huey helicopters may be old but last night, Discovery Channel declared the Huey as the Greatest Helicopter Ever, ranking number 1 in a field of 10. 2nd place is the Robinson R22 while surprise, surprise, the Apache Longbow ranked 3rd. |

I remember watching part of that episode you're talking about from Discovery. I think the Chinook scored Number 8 while the Bell Ranger got Number Seven. Can't remember the other ones though. |

Hmmm...I don't see the Robinson R22 on that list, on TV it was clearly stated that the R22 is the second placer and it was definitely the Mi-26 Halo, not the Mi-24. |

I think the list was made based on technical capabilities. 2 episodes yan eh. yung show na nag top ang UH-1H yun yung episode na kino consider nila yung feelings ng mga piloto. |
