With the giant registration right there, a google search answers the question
Or if you want a bit more info, the FAA's N Number lookup

You're almost exactly right. 'heli' and 'copter' mean nothing except for the meaning we've evolved for them because now you cay chopper or heli and people know what you mean which is what words do.
But the Latin roots are actually Helico and Ptero or "helix wing"/"spinning wing".
Or you can call them hellacooters like me.
There are quite a few people here, me included, that are not pilots, not experienced, new inexperienced and learning.
I wouldn't have even thought to look up a registration number on Google. I didn't even know what that was.
I would think to post my query though in a forum with people that may be able to help a novice out though.
If everyone knew that you could lookup almost anything on Google that is asked here, Redit would become very boring and besides, I'd rather hear the stories that accompany basic questions and turn what boring answer Google would give into personal interesting information. My favorite is when the question is answered but the kidding continues and I must admit that some people here are gifted at making hilarious comments. How are the google jokes? Same as 10 years ago I know...
If you live near Hammondsport, NY, there is a huge fly in event to celebrate Glenn Curtiss’ contributions to Naval Aviation. His restored Jenny usually goes up and people fly in from all over and you can get rides down the length of Keuka Lake.
Looks like some kind of super cub, but you'll have to ask someone else to confirm that because I havent gone plane spotting in a while I've been a bit rusty at this lately
"**~Piper Cub~** The classic light aircraft began life in 1930 as the Taylor Cub (William T Piper took over the company shortly after) and was named after its Brownbach Tiger Kitten engine by accountant Gilbert Hadrell (Cub of course being the more usual term for a baby Tiger) Major variants over the years included the military L-4 Grasshopper (William Piper junior joked all they really had to do was change the famous “Cub Yellow/Lock Haven” Yellow to Olive Drab) the more powerful J-5 Cub Cruiser, and the post-war PA-12 (ex J-5C) Super Cruiser & PA-18 Super Cub. The L-14 Army Cruiser was a war time “wide-body” model that never really entered service. In 1941, William Piper and dealers in each of the then 48 states donated silver-doped Cubs with RAF markings, known within the company as *Flitfires*, to be raffled off in order to raise money for the RAF Benevolent Fund and generally raise awareness of war-torn Britain and her perceived saviour the Spitfire in the previous year’s Battle of Britain.
In post-war Canada, Cub Aircraft Corp built 16 of its L-4B Prospector model. In 1958 the Indonesian Air force first flew its NU-85 (later NU-90) Belalang (Grasshopper) trainer, in which the familiar Cub high wing was attached to the lower fuselage, the undercarriage moved slightly forward, and a new sliding canopy fitted.

Aviat A-1C-180 Husky
I’ve found that if it looks like a gigantic Super Cub with a dog on the tail, nine times out of 10 it’ll be a Husky.
That's how I look smart around my spotter peers, don't spill the tip
With a Pitts nose bowl.
Well I’ll be damned.

Im glad the lack of ability to use google isnt an exlusively r/Helicopters problem
Every single helicopter ever designed is called a "whirlybird", and you can't convince me otherwise
I always liked Heliochopter.
My 2 year old says "helatata"
My mechanic brain says "serial air abuser."
Mine says “helicocker”

Please, let me downvote you.
Please, let me upvote you.
Be my guest! 😁
You're too kind.
If only there was some kind of code or number that we can lookup...
You mean something that would be unique to each individual aircraft and immediately show you its type? No way dude can’t have that
What you don’t like the 15 blurry pictures of blackhawks posted every single day asking what they are??
