Funny story:
Years ago the Pope came to visit Canada.
The Vatican "Aviation Expert" wanted to have the Pope transported in a CH-47 or similar because it had two xmsn gearboxes and that "in the event that one failed they could continue on one to a safe landing on the other".
There was total silence in the room! (Well there may have been some muffled laughter).
We ended up flying the Pope in a 205A-1 with blue bed sheets roughly stitched over the bush seats. LOL
