It seemed ironic that a recent training helicopter crash near here
resulted in the survivor being taken off in an air ambulance helicopter.
Though most of those I know of are twin engine turbines so chances are
good you won't lose both engines at once...
Helicopters are for those who are pigheaded enough to want to beat the
air into submission. :-)

I saw a guy on a TV interview once. He said the only way a helicopter
can fly is by brute force. A airplane wants to fly but a helicopter
just wants to crash. He said that can be proven by taking your hands
off the controls. Down it goes.
Having twin engines does help tho. I just don't like the cheapest
bidder part tho. I don't usually buy the cheapest part for my car
either. That is really true on my brakes. That I want good stuff for.
I want good brakes even if the engine runs like crap. I can always stop
then get out of the freaking car. lol Of course, that is a bad idea
during a ice storm. Unless the car is on fire, the safest place is in
the freaking car. o_O
Weird huh?
