A lot of naive people still don’t realize that every time you take one of them up there are hundreds of things that could happen to bring her down.What!?! 25 supersonic tons of metal and fuel in the air? What could go wrong? /s

I feel safer in a fixed-wing aircraft. At least all the majority of parts are all trying to go in the same direction, unlike rotary-winged aircraft.

In my work I have to associate with a lot of very stupid people. Quite a few probably think that those things look like a ‘58 Chevy “under the hood” and believe that any high school kid could fly one in combat.

And those 25 tons of flying metal and fuel were all made by the lowest bidder as well. :-)
