I loved those games.  There was even a "home" version of them.  There were a couple of variations IIRC.

Wow, the memories :D

I live in Edmonton, AB and remember one of those machines (the bubble unit) at the Edmonton International Airport.  It was fun and very, very difficult.  You could really get that Heli humming around.

I was wondering where that machine went after the airport renovations.  Looks like it ended up in the local Airplane Museum.
