The metal is always nude.
You haven't lived until you've sat in a RNZAF Huey on a military exercise being flown through valleys ULTRA-low. Those guys certainly know how to fly and despite some pretty wicked manoeuvers I thought the Huey wasn't capable of, I felt safe the whole time.
Real Tour of Duty stuff, jump out the open door once landed and start firing the Steyr....ah those were the days.....

My nephew used to be the mechanic for those things in the Air Force.
got the chance one day to do just the thing you speak of.
they are surprisingly nimble for their size those things.
And yes, they do some amazing things in them. Far from what i imagined possible.
Bit of an adrenalin buzz to be honest.
Those young fellas that fly them certainly know their stuff.
I perhaps shouldn't go into too much detail of what they used to get up to from time to time.
Ya never know who is reading this aye?

the only helo I want to fly is an AH-64
I suspect they might cost a bit more than an R22 though

That's what happens when you build cities on swamps..."liquifaction" innit?

That, in itself, is a very big ask.
Ed Macy's books (Apache + Hellfire) reflect the difficulty in getting accepted for training. Senior helo instructors who could not cope in the 64's cockpit and were washed out of the course.
Well done to those who get there!

You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

Thanks for putting me straight. Re the three crashes, 1st - The windscreen washing incident, 2nd - He was clearing cattle out of scrub and went to give a cattle beast a nudge with the skid and missed, hitting the ground which set everything off including the ELB. He had a long walk home after that one, 3rd - Heading out to muster had a tail rotor failure hitting the ground from about 120m high. He came home in a body bag after that one.

another bit of advice is don't get a golden labrador, have you seen how many of their owners end up going blind?

Lol. Says the guy from hamilton. I happen to know a few of your townsfolk live on reclaimed swamp land.
Thats not quite the definition of liquifaction either.

I am pretty sure that the R22 is the main Heli used to train pilots. If everyone had to learn to drive in a civic then I am sure that would show in the stats.
