The Alouette III serviced the Portuguese Air Force for 57 years and it was one of the first – if not the first – helicopter I’ve ever seen in real life.

The nimble little helicopter may be somewhat of an acquired taste regarding its design, but one thing is for sure: the view from the inside is amazing.
