Put mine on CL and eBay this morning! eBay sucks though, as between PayPal and eBay you'll lose 7-10%. On a $600 or so iPad, that makes a difference. I'm hoping to get more nibbles on CL.

Where's the "Perfect to traveling!" bullet point?
Better than how Pakistan moves them around:
It's called a Tsonga, also known as Zulu "umqangala". Found searching with "tribal wood string bow instrument mouth".
Fly-by-wire means there's no physical linkage between the pilot's controls and the helicopter's aerodynamic control surfaces. It basically means the pilot makes inputs (via joystick/collective/pedals) into a computer, which figures out what the pilot wants, then commands the aircraft to do that. This is a huge step…
"A few more seats than usual" isn't the point... it seems a major advance in this helicopter is total fly-by-wire, a first in civilan production helicopters.
WTF site eating my image links.
Almost all current helicopters are adapted to military and civilian roles:
True, I remember they at one point were offering specials of $99 each way during the summertime. There are many other operators still such as Liberty Helicopters, but no current operators can clear you past security as they don't have a TSA Approved checkpoint at the helicopter facility.
Bigger civilian helicopters:
The Mi-26 is nuts, and it's also being updated for operation with a 2 person crew (most current Mi-26s need five). Also crazy is that in 2002, ONE Mi-26 was brought down with a surface-to-air missile, killing 127 troops and crew in the helicopter. The Chinook can hold at max 55, and the CH-53E a similar number.
With a fuel cost of just over $10k/hr (at $6/gal for Jet-A), their flight was about $200k in fuel alone. An expensive troll face!
They did indeed complete the dashed line. Here's a link to the actual (completed) track:
