"The Taliban can basically pick-up-and-play a Blackhawk, but our guys can’t fly a Seahawk?"

Rotary-wing aviation is extremely complex, both piloting and maintaining - there are a billion different things that can go wrong at any given moment.

Have you ever flown one or worked on one?

My first chief of the VFD I was a member of worked on helo’s in Nam, and continued to work on them throughout the early 2000’s as a Texas National Guard member (and retired US Army E-9).

My biological father flew them in Korea.

Both had the same thing to say - it’s not the helo’s fly so much as they are so butt-ugly the Earth repels them.

Fair winds and following seas shipmates. May you find rest in Valhalla.
