    The topic for this contest is any depiction of rotary-wing aircraft in movies, TV, animation, comics, or video games. That includes autogyros (also called gyrocopters or gyroplanes). I'll allow fictional aircraft but no SF or fantasy. You may specify the aircraft make and model but it's not required. Usual rules: maximum 200 x 200 px and 1 MB. You may enter up to three avatars.
    I'll get things revved up with these two:

    The Towering Inferno (1974) -- Bell 206 JetRanger

    Magnum, P.I.

    I'm guessing that the SHIELD helicarrier is not acceptable?

    That one is definitely fantasy/SF! As Wilbur Wright never said, "It'll never fly, Orville!"

    Here's one more from me:
    The "Little Nellie" autogyro (a Wallis WA-116 Agile) from You Only Live Twice (1967)

    Still plenty of time for entries! I'll leave the contest open for 5 more days.
