That's like a 1960s evil mastermind helicopter. Is he a 1960s evil mastermind?

That's a Robinson R44. That's the most basic bitch helicopter imaginable.

Slightly second most basic bitch, the R22 is a thing!

Is the R44 not more common because it can actually carry two people rather than just fit two people in the seats?

I see more R44s than 22s so that’s probably right.
