Indeed. I'm a fan of the UH-60 myself.

I used to love riding in them over Iraq.

Thomas Doubting said...

Rappelling from them is a lot of fun.

How could a guy not love a giant eggbeater in the sky? With guns?

Eh, I’ll wait until we start having antique helicopter fly-ins, thanks. ;)

Absolutely right, raven!

What about gyrocopters, LR1?

raven said...

Be a man among men! Fly the Pitcairn autogyro! You get an eggbeater in the sky, and that's not all!
You also get a big radial piston engine! Get with the program! Be like Roscoe! Adopt a lion cub! Fly with the stars!


Thomas Doubting said...

Yeah, baby!

I mean, something like the GyroTech HoneyBee looks like a lot of fun, though I don't know where you'd put the lion cub ...
