Pilot Rank & File

[mondtster]

it certainly has some appeal to it and would attract a crowd at the next fly in or burger run

Most people don't know what it is, and even if they do they likely haven't seen one. There are a few A models around but as far as we know there are only 3 complete B models, two of which fly.

I thought helicopters were mostly a bunch of loose rivets and panels being blown in the same general direction by a big fan.

Don't forget the loose oil sometimes.

What about our tailhookers?

If they’d just install some VGs and cuffs they could land short without the tail hook. I mean, I bet Draco could have done it, lol

Anyone who's flown anything while being shot at trumps all that.

Someone has to say it:
1. Me.
2. Chuck Yeager
3. The Wright Brothers
4. All y'all - you can fight out the specifics amongst yourselves.
And I'm pretty sure Chuck Norris and Neil Peart should be high on the list...

No Hoover?

Fake news.

I dunno man, helicopters are weird.

A swirling mass of metal fatigue, rotating around an oil leak!!!
