Sharpshooter Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Yeah, you gotta love anyone who relies on auto-rotators to get their asses back on the ground in something resembling one piece. Welcome from Arkansas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helicopters are a flying-anomoly. The twin-rotors are worse - they're a flying contradiction. All of them really cannot FLY - they just beat the air into submission, and get off the ground and float around. I love pilots, too - just get this fucker off the ground, Chief, then slow down a little and let me out. Anyone can take off, but landings are nothing more than controlled crashes. You just get this big bitch off the ground, and let me out somewhere up there - I'll control my own landing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Only works if you've got someone willing to get you close enough and slow enough. If not, hope you're equipped with your own Mary Poppins umbrella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I've seen a Surface to Air Recovery System in operation. Once. I thought it was the coolest way to get off the ground I'd ever seen. I also thought I'd have to have somebody trying to shoot my a$$ before I'd do it. Neat! Not on the same theme as C47s, but, you know, cool shiit is cool shiit.

Hadn't been a live recovery since 1982. I was BEGGING to be that new guy... Edited May 1, 2020 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
