Yes, I too am looking forward to it. You production is looking great and I always enjoy your videos. You are not as cool as OperatrError, but you are ok.

You do understand that a helicopter will only take you as far as the crash site, right?  I wrenched Navy helos for 20 years and I approve that joke. LOL

It would be a hell of a ride..... for 30 yards!

I was not Aircrew but did have more than my fair share of riding in the back and minimal stick time, I was a maintainer not a flyer. The only time I actually worried about crashing, I caught a ride on a 46 leaving the HMCS Vancouver trying to get back to my home ship, the USS Carl Vinson. We were dodging a typhoon in the South China Sea and the 46 started having issues. I wasn't on ICS so I didn't hear what was going on. But the crewman all of a sudden started running back and forth, removing panels, grabbing tools, etc. I knew we were on the high side of their flight leg before bingo fuel and the winds were not helping. It was a long tense flight home. LOL

Yeah, what makes the Army different from Navy & Airforce is that the maintainers are the crew chiefs.

I retired in 05. The Navy has restructured the helo community since then, but back then we had HS (carrier helo squadrons with 60 F and H), HSL (small boy, aka surface ship helos squadrons with 60B) and HC (supply ship helos with 46's) The 46 crewman were crew chief and maintainers. Since I retired the have done away with that command structure and I haven't cared enough to learn what they did. My DD-214 and retirement cert that came in the mail on 7 Dec 16 which was with the orders stating I was transferred to the retired list on 1 July 05.

No ####, there I was... in AIT and got contacted by DELTA

Dad (Air Force guy) calls helicopters a collection of loose parts flying in formation.   Occasionally they break formation for no apparent reason.
