Training school's new marketing ploy.

In the cutthroat world of flight instructing schools, one school spent less money on advertising and hired helipad Marshalls.....seems to do the trick with more students turning up, even from other schools on navigation flights!

Under the Caption Competition bylaws "This caption has gone on too long with insufficient clever captions with no winner announced" I hereby close the current caption and start another.

Judging Wednesday (Sunday if insufficient captions)

Grounded

The use of twin counter-rotating tail rotors gave the machine excellent directional stability in the taxi, unfortunately the high power demand of the system made flight impossible.
