helo rides, cool. I've spent a few thousand hours island hopping in those. There's just something about the thump-thump-thump eagbeater sound they make to get my blood going.

Having gotten my blood going in two Huey crashes [both overloaded on takeoff] and having observed a guy back into a turning tail rotor, you are damned well welcome to the things. I'll ride in them if I have to, or if I'm paid to, but not vice-versa.

I've got to admit that Loaches are neat, though, and once got a ride in the gunner's seat of a Cobra, very sporty. But not my idea of fun.
