It's a flying dumpster with two palm trees attempting fornication.

In My Army years in the Aviation Branch I had never heard this!! Funny as heck!!

Thanks Man!!

My faves:

-64A I loved it for aircraft performance/maneuverability seat of the pants fun that comes from center-line flying. It had a pretty good 'V-G' diagram for a rotor-craft. And the sheer excitement of shooting stuff. But that all comes with lots and lots of study/practice to learn the systems and how to employ them effectively. With Aux tanks the bladder issue can be a problem too...:laugh: Flying-FARP-Flying-FARP-Flying for 8 hours could get old. The air conditioner was nice to have.

-58A That ship is a blast. Single pilot, doors off down in the trees hunting people. A simple no hassle machine that does what it was designed to do well. Respect it's limitations and you'll be just fine.

EC-120 nice, roomy, the VEMD / FLI is a neat idea.

EC-145/-72A ...TBD

OH-6's....I can only dream at this point. Maybe someday.

For all out bad@$$ness, the 5-hondo, all the way. (especially when you have a Vanagon painted the same.)

For the helicopter that changed it all, I vote for the Huey or the jetbox.
