Brings back memories, we use to ride sitting three on each side, belted in, with our feet on the skids, once the bird took off, you could not keep your legs straight. Lots of fun flying in those things.
@donb7827 жыл бұрын
James Tee I can honestly say that going in on a CA we were not belted in. It was rare for the bird to actually land. We would have been clear and the bird gone in the time it took them to unbuckle.

Rob Ryder is horribly known to blab too effing much. I stopped going to THUNDER OVER MICHIGAN as did a lot of people I used to regularly meet up with at TOM because he ruins the air show. When the WW2 fighters fly past he stops for 2 seconds " let's hear the noise of the engine" then non stop talks.

Just curious, is there a certain reason why those things that are sticking out halfway down toward the tail of the Helicopter that they are painted Orange and not green like the rest of the helicopter?????
@MrWolfSnack8 жыл бұрын
Not down, horizontal. Those are the synchronized elevators. A movable wing that helps stabilize the helicopter in flight.
@pizzasubs8 жыл бұрын
So if you dont mind me asking, would the helicopter be even able to fly safely without those wings attached? I mean would the pilot be actually able to control it in the air without them????
@MrWolfSnack8 жыл бұрын
Andrew Silva Depends on the helicopter. Most have them in some form or another whether they are normal prop or jet powered turboprop. I am not a pilot so I can't say what they do but they tilt forward and back which I presume keeps the chopper stable when hovering.
@pizzasubs8 жыл бұрын
is this in a way the reason why to airliners they have installed those new wingtips that bed upward at the ends of the wings to 1 make the plane fly hopefully more smoothly????
