I flew my own plane for 40 years.

Multi-engine, instrument, etc.

I would never ever ride in a flopper.

I used to fly to Newark and take a cab into NYC rather than ride a flopper.

Here is all you need to know: Why do they use helicopters?

Because they are going where no flying machine should ever try to go.

Reason enough for me.

Agree. Rotating wings are interesting and that is it.
