Old DOS helicopter game

I'm looking for an old helicopter game that was a side-scroller. The ground was like bright green or something like that and I believe the background was just black. I think you had to pick up people or something, but you could jump out and run on the ground also.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks, but that's not it.

The one I'm thinking of has bright green ground and all you see is the ground and black. When you shoot the ground, it indents like the game pocket tanks when you shoot the ground.

It sounds a bit like an online game that I know of, the difference being you just flew through an obstacle course of sorts you didn't have to rescue people. Anyway if you're interested the online game I'm talking about can be found here.

Perhaps it's 'Airlift Rescue' as suggested, since there are people to pickup and the ground is green with a black sky.
I don't see any screenshots or instructions of exiting the helicopter, however.

Another DOS game with all green ground & black sky is 'Chopper Commando', which has the option of ejecting and walking about, but there are no rescue missions shown in the screenshots. The ground is also destructible, as seen in the screenshots.
(Some delivery missions at the friendly bases are in the description)

ps. chances are slim that the OP comes back to this thread nine-years later.

Jesus Christ!hehe

I like the screenshots.

The game has an objective instead of little DEMOs like mine hehe

Thank you God that welfare supports me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might not be able to come out with a full version game.

However, I hope you all enjoy what I do have.

Anyways, congratulations to the producer - looks good.

Yup I also thought Chopper Commando. I always mix up these two games.

It sounds like what I remember of Choplifter, but the colors are wrong and no "Dos", so must have been a clone or remake I played. I'm not coming up with a list of Choplifter Clones quickly, but surely there's one out there?

Oh, and Rescue Raiders! :)

You can get out of helicopter game Infiltrator I & II, but that's not really the same at all. ;)
