[qutoe]This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why in generality, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant extroverts and helicopter pilots are brooding introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if something bad has not happened it is about to." [/quote]
My father was a bomber pilot, and later, after the second world war, a "test pilot".
He held chopper pilots in the highest regard.
I don't know how you guys did what you did, but you'll have my ever lasting respect.
If ya can't prove it, don't say it.
Bikes, babes, and beer, it don't get no better than that.
