that's not what they're actually using as a military copter is it?

They have six R44s.

Heard this on the news a few days ago, and was envisaging low level beat ups over Beirut in a Huey. Then they said it was a Robinson. I wouldn't waste 108 pence on a flight in one of those. What do they use for weapons, an open window and harsh language?

Not all military aircraft need to be armed, like training aircraft for example.

Well, if you get a base visit as a bonus, it might be worth the money
