I just love it when they point to a Leonardo Da Vinci sketch & say “look Leonardo ‘invented’ thus & such.” Leonardo was a great artist & thinker, but inventing a helicopter without a lightweight powerplant and a proper air foil is just fantasizing. A better word would be ‘conceived’. / engineer rant off

Saw the Jesus nut let go on a Huey hovering at about 6 feet once. Spread the skids very badly. Threw one blade through both sides of a duce and a half bed. Never found the other one!

Mount a belt fed semi-auto shot gun on that thing, and I might just buy one for Duck Hunting.
It would be fun to use at night in the green zone.

Saw two slicks land a bit too close together and their rotors hit each other.Found out those things are made like a honeycomb after being showered with pieces. I took off running and got caught in concertina wire. Took 3 guys to get me out of that wire
To: digger48
Uh oh! No counter-rotating propellers.

Also, with the engine suddenly unloaded, it went to lunch after throwing the tail rotor half way to Hanoi!
