The Bell, IIRC a Jet Ranger or a Huey, is hardly sleek. For sleek helicopters, seek ye out the RAH-66 Commanche, the Sikorsky S-76 corporate model, the Westland Lynx, or the Bell Cobra. That is as 'sleek' as helicopters get. :D
The S-61, also known far and wide as a Sea King, is a venerable Sikorsky design dating from the early 1960's, and now that you mention it, yes, 'twas certainly was a nice match for T-101. To be really anal about it, the modern command post / lab that General Brewster ran would more likely have a BlackHawk (S-70) or a Huey(AB-212) than a Sea King, but it made for a better "obsolete and obsolete" matchup, good job catching that one. :)
You'd think a helicopter person like me might have gotten that one, but it went right over my head . . . at about 50' off the ground. :o
