Why did they call an NH90 a Tiger??
Back in the 70s, there was a race between a Lamborghini Countach and a Mirage fighter. I was positioned about 100' ahead of them along the runway in a UH-1B in SAR config with drop tanks etc, to film it.
At "GO!" the Lambo leapt off the mark, with the Mirage a little slower to move because he wasn't able to light the burner while the brakes were still on. The Mirage caught the Lambo just before the 1/4 mile mark, doing around 160kt, we were left wallowing along after reaching 90kt with all that drag.
