Dana: Obviously you've never had to depend on a helicopter for your life.
I've come home in birds so shot full of holes that no fixed wing on the
planet could keep flying and walked away (well sort of) as well as everyone
on board except the one who was already dead when placed aboard. Largest
problems with helicopters are:
1. 1 hour of flight equals 4 hours of maintenance.
2. too damn many things that can go wrong.
3. Army Aviators will drink anything containing alcohol from any
container clean or dirty, the alcohol disinfects it.

Truisms for pilots
Hovering is for pilots who love to fly but have no place to go.
A helicopter is a collection of rotating parts going round and round and
reciprocating parts going up and down - all of them trying to become
random in motion.
Helicopters can't really fly - they're just so ugly that the earth
immediately repels them.
Pilots believe in clean living. They never drink whiskey from a dirty
glass.
