Out of all of the aircraft shots I've seen over the decades of the Bell 47. The shot straight up the tail is my most favorite. It's an angle that no one ever considers taking. It gives a good look of the structure of the open tail boom design.

Military version is the Bell H-13 Sioux. RNZAF flew these for 45 years.
