All shooting, no strategy, AirStrike 3D: Operation W.A.T. makes for an extremely entertaining game, though the trial version restricts access to the majority of the levels.
A great tutorial comes in the first round of play, and the controls are a cinch to master. The game's unique, three-quarters view and killer 3D graphics are a refreshing take on the shooter genre. The fast-paced action is the game's best quality, although we also appreciated the healthy feature set. Get enough power-ups and you'll be annihilating everything in sight, including planes, trains, tanks, and towers. Nag screens promoting the full version get a bit frustrating since they appear between every round.
Also, the demo only lets you play three levels, which are fairly easy to finish. Nevertheless, AirStrike 3D: Operation W.A.T.'s excellent graphics, realistic sound effects, and fun gameplay make the limited levels worth playing more than once.
Publisher's Description
From Divo Games:
AirStrike 3D is an action-packed, apocalyptic, survival experiment for daredevils. Your job is to pilot heavy-battle helicopters and your primary objective is to destroy terrorists' secret bases and small arms factories around the world. Strap in for 20 levels of mayhem with more than 100 enemy units, five types of hostile terrain, and three powerful terrorist bosses. As you successfully complete missions and meet goals set by commanders you will be given access to more sophisticated equipment and weapons. You'll have to fly in different conditions, including night and foul weather.
What's new in this version: Version 1.71 is freeware and fixes some bugs.

"Why play the demo when you can get the full thing?"
Version: AirStrike 3D: Operation WAT 1.71
Pros
None demo is not the same as free
Cons
A demo should not be in this list it should be under free to try!
Summary
If you want the full game then try this link:
One more thing all the games on gametop.com are 100% legal AFAIK
http://gametop.com/category/helicopter.html
It links to 4 games:
Helic(69MB)
Desert hawk (17MB)
Air Assault(11MB)
Air Assault 2 (22MB)
Note:
1. Desert hawk,air assault 1 and 2 closely resemble Airstrike 3D, while Helic feels more like a proper 3D helicopter game (ie you can move around in 3D space unlike the others that can only move from side to side)
2. These games are from Gametop.com and therefore have this habit of opening their webpage after the games are installed and every time you exit one of their games. If your are not comfortable with that then don't download their games!
3. If you decide to download their games anyway then try this link for other games:
