I can take my shirt off, twist it around my hand, and spin it like a helicopter.

I refuse to watch the video because I know it will just make me angry.

Absolutely horrible.

Not much to see.

Looked like bad visibility - couldn't see anything outside.

In 1989, we had a couple of pilots start up their UH-1H's at Ft Richardson, AK while we were in the middle of getting glassed by Mt Redoubt. The volcanic ash absolutely destroyed the turbines before they could even get off the ground. I remember walking out of the gym and looking across the aviation field at the helipad and seeing the fire and smoke coming from the helicopters.

As an aside, being an old Airborne, I used to love busting chutes for riggers on Huey blasts. When all the pay hurts were finished getting their jumps in, me and a few other guys would just Hollywood the rest of the chutes. Man I miss those days!

A former boss of mine got his rotor IFR. Said it cost something like $85k. Wasn't sure I completely believed him but I know it's way more expensive than getting a fixed wing license.

I don't have a license but I get quite a bit of simulator stick time. Bet I've got 1500 hrs at least by now...he'll it could be much more than that but I haven't been playing as much lately.

One of our test pilots that I've worked a bunch with has some really cool stories.

One involves shooting a whale on accident.

Another involves getting some glass from Ground Zero in NM...

That is absolutely awful, but what is romantic about taking your wife to her wedding in a helicopter when there is zero visibility.

I, also, enjoy speaking in jargon specific to my profession that my intended audience will not understand. Makes me feel special.

"The bride, Rosemere do Nascimento Silva, reportedly wanted to surprise the groom and the estimated 300 guests with her entrance."

Excuse me, I read the article fast while I was working. Point remains, she (not he) wasn't very smart.

a few months ago, I found websites, costs here in Central Texas are $25K. Private plane pilot's are $6K.

A buddy of mine is looking to renew his license, found an old copter with needed repairs in South America for $150K. He was a pilot in Viet Nam.
