“Just make sure the Jesus nut is on nice and tight.”

Roger that. Loose the Jesus nut and you loose the rotor then you loose the helo and crew. (BTW, I've parachuted from CH-47s --tailgate jumps...great platform (when properly assembled!))

If I was running that plant both those helos would be stripped down and inspected from top to bottom. Every machine in the place would be spot checked for similar issues.
