Airwatch

I’ve always been a fan of the combine helicopter, unfortunately a lot of addons which allow you to fly them don’t quite do them justice or have stopped working over the years. The included vehicles aim to mimic the original’s behavior as closely as possible, and while it’s not always a 100% accurate replica I still feel that I’ve come quite close more often than not.
