    wrong forum, I know but I thought you petrolheads might appreciate this
    The German Bo 105 is a light twin engine multi purpose utility helicopter built by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) which now belongs to the Eurocopter Group. Being the first light twin-engined helicopter in commercial service, it gained widespread use over rural areas (police and EMS / medevac) as well as offshore. The four-blade hingeless main rotor with composite blades ensures high maneuverability. All main systems (hydraulics, electric, fuel, lubrication) were designed to be fully redundant.
    Pilot: Charlie Zimmermann, German helicopter aerobatic champion

    To anyone in this forum who has a helicopter at home, please don't try the above, yer chopper will break into a million pieces on the first manoeuvre. The BO-105 is the only civilian helicopter capable of this stuff. Looking closely at the video he nearly lost it a few times :eek:

    I almost expected the pilot to shout at the camera at the end 'Ja ja, und now ve fire ze missiles!'
