  1. Far too many heli pilots down here. Do this, do that, turn this, go up this. Not everything you seeing movies is real people. You all have no idea how to fly the thing, let alone the how extremely hard it is,- take off, cruising, to landings. If fixed-wing pilots are hardcore, heli pilots are adamantium mixed with barbranium core.

  2. Just thought I'd chime in…
    (101st Airborne, Cobra crew chief who learned to fly )
    Non rigid rotor systems, the entirety of the airframe is just like a weight on a string.
    You basically fly the rotors in a way that suspends the weight.

    The aircraft lost the ability to hold itself up… it kinda slid off the lift of the rotors.
    ..
    Remember that trick to swing a bucket of water… and what happens if you don't maintain enough G force.
    The 3D arc of flight… isn't natural.

    >> if no mechanical issues was found. It was most likely pilot error.

  3. That was a cobra attack chopper. The first purpose built attack helicopter made I believe. Came out in late 60's in time for Vietnam. Great chopper. This one is much more recent though.
