Well, Felice Navidad Mexican style, folks.
Helicopter: 10,000 parts flying in formation around an oil leak, waiting for metal fatigue to set in.
More seriously, did you know that the big nut on top of the rotor is called the “Jesus nut”. It’s the first word out of the pilot’s mouth when it comes off...
Now, one more (with less snark):
Have you heard they named a new drink for Captain Sullenberger, of the Miracle on the Hudson fame? It’s called the supply, and is made from two shots of Grey Goose and a splash of water!
I agree and I don’t like helicopters.
Aircraft that rely on exactly one part to stay in the air are not something I care to experience.
