    Flew the TH-13 in army flight school in 1970. I love the bird❤. I used to watch “Whirly Birds” as a kid back in the ‘50’s. Great show.

      I also got to fly in a 47 with no doors. Great fun. I even got a few hours of flight instruction, they were a real handful compared to today's helicopter trainer models (manual rpm control, no governor), then money (or lack thereof) made me move on to airplanes. But I still have special place in my hart for helicopters, the Bell 47 in particular.

    Can a Bell-47 enthusiast chime in and explain the "turbine" sound on the 47? I know it's got a flat-6 but as the revs increase it has a distinct turbine-like whine that increases too. I'm guessing it's the shaft or gearing. It's very characteristic to the 47 (though I think the old Hillers made that sound too)
