Bummer. I always felt better flying in ch 46 as opposed to the ch 53.
You liked the 46’s better than the 53’s? Man, you’re crazy - saw a 46’s rotors get out of sync out in Indian Springs on a training det - looked like someone took a pop can and twisted it.
The 53’s are similar configuration to the Sea Stallions used by the Navy... had the opportunity to do a “Hollywood Jump” in 1976 during All American Week at 5,000 feet from one. Cramped but excellent for rescue operations.
As you should have. Better ac.
