Where these not the mainstay for any SR rigger at some point in history?

Yellowjacket is an armed copter.

There was/is a small single man chopper (as in the flying kind) that some images looked vaguely like what was linked, which is what I think the OP is getting at.

Personally, I went for a Hughes or the Ares one as you could move your team/stuff around in.

Back when the rigger had 1 million nuyen to spend! Fun times.....

Considering the cost that Winnipeg just dumped into a Helicopter, they could have possibly made due with an upgraded model like this at a lot less cost to Taxpayers.
