Okay, first off, I traced the outlines of the exterior and interior of the helicopter. The original image can be found here. http://www.rotor.com/Default.aspx?t.....ewsid905=53890 the color scheme, and a few other details were tossed in there by myself, though.
Here we see the helicopter pilot for ETNHS standing by his beautiful bird. He looks quite proud of her, doesn't he? I've had this image in my head for a long time, and the first thing I had to do was find the right helicopter for the job. My personal favorite types of helicopters are Hughes 500 series (Specifically C models), but I always though of Bell helicopters being more for business, and when I found that lovely picture of a Bell 417 in all its glory, I knew I found the fly boy's lovely lady.
Incidentally, our pilot friend, here is without a name. Do any of you have some suggestions? I'm sure he'd like to be known as something other than "The Pilot." ^^

Interesting. I'd never heard of a Bell 417. I had thought you'd misidentified a Bell 206L LongRanger but a quick Google search revealed the 417 is a derivative of the LongRanger. Thanks for setting me onto this bit of trivia and a model I'd never heard of before; I'm a Bell 206 freak.
Hey, my pleasure! Like I had said, I knew I wanted t Bell to represent the business side of things, and even though the link I have to the photo no longer has that particular photo, it was still a wonderful picture. I knew then and there that was the one I was looking for!
You have a fine taste in helicopters, my friend. ^^ Those aren't bad choppers at all! The reason I love the Hughes 500s so much is because of a little made-for-TV movie by the name of "Deadly Encounter" starring Larry Hagman. The story is alright for what it's worth, but for a helicopter fan, it's got some great sequences. It's hard to come by, but if you can grab it, I'd definitely say it's a good watch.
I've liked the Hughes 500 ever since Capricorn One, myself. It was the movie Sheena that got my into helicopters, though. Here's both:

Yes, and although I love that movie, I've always loved The Gauntlet which features a sniper using a Gazelle to try and tag Clint Eastwood in The Gauntlet (http://www.impdb.org/index.php?titl.....B_Gazelle_AH.1).
