Back in the good old days, Bell called their first models, "Ship #1," "Ship 2," etc.  So although it might sound goofy *TO YOU*, it seems that the tradition of calling a helicopter a "ship" has been around a while.  Oh, and some fixed-wing pilots do refer to their aircraft as a "ship."  Must take a really petty, neurotic, anal retentive dork to get all worked up about this.
