Thank you LameHawk and sniperton for the kind comments.

Ok all here's the next one … it's an easy one.

That's not it anitek … good try though.

Aught to let someone else go for once.

Ought. Don't take it personal, I'm just musing. Twenty years ago I did not misspell any word either in German, English, Italian, or French. Now I do as you do, even in my mother tongue. Really strange.

It didn’t give me the little red underline when I spelled it.........hmm, strange.

Eurocopter UH-72, the military version of the Eurocopter EC145.
I've seen a couple of prototypes at the Donauwörth Eurocopter facility in my last days of military service, when we made ferry flights of Sea Kings for their Change Overhaul.

Because 'aught' is still used; here in England anyway with a different meaning:
anything at all, or nothing.
"know you aught of this flying machine, young sir?"

[SAS~Storebror]

Copied. What was the meaning of "young sir" again?
I think I've got a dark remembrance from way back in the past, but instead of stating something completely wrong, I thought I'd better ask.

"junger Herr" Mike; just like your good self.
As if you didn't know, your English being better than mine!

Correct Mike !!! 

There are six UH-72A's stationed here in Hilo on the Big Island, next to Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, the employer I retired from. 

Your turn.

[SAS~Storebror]

Thanks DHumphrey.
Blue Hawaiian... "you" have the EC 130, which is not too far from the 135 development line.
They didn't have it at Donauwörth, because the 130 prototypes were located in Marignane, France. We've seen some AS 350 though which partly went to Donauwörth for overhaul.
These were interesting days in the late 90s. We've been to Marconi in Canada (nowadays CMC Electronics) and to Westland Helicopters for evaluating Avionics update offers for our 20+ year old Sea King Helicopters.
And we've been to Speyr (MBB) and later Donauwörth (Eurocopter), in case of Speyr it was usually for the 2nd major periodic inspection (2. PE) which turned into a "Kampfwertsteigerung" (weapons upgrade) where our brave Sea Kings were equipped with Sea Skua missiles, electronic warfare equipment and self defense systems including chaff/flare dispensers and tons of sensors. Not that this would make any sense, but still.
In case of Donauwörth it turned out that most Sea Kings suffered from fatigue which required a change overhaul of the core structure, and later the avionics upgrade offered by Westland Helicopters was built in.

Okay, let's stay with Helis for the while. Guess this:

I'm a complete newbie to helis, but a search for "small two-seat helicopter" resulted in the Guimbal Cabri G2 in the first place
