Yeah. Igor Sikorsky, the Wright brothers.

Unhelmeted, unbuckled, unregulated idiots.

Endangering the public "stock" numbers and mindsets with their killer contraptions.

How else is everyone supposed to live forever in perfect physical health if not in their perfectly proscribed boxes?

While it's probably an unnecessary and circumventable risk, impressing young kids with a visceral experience in a helicopter. Might some be inspired to pursue a career in aviation from it? Are the best aviation candidates those kids who ve skinned their knees on bicycles and climbed real trees , or the kids raised hydroponically on the couch, safely digesting awesome computer graphics?

Just a hunch but I suspect the death defying, spluttering sound of a Robinson at a the local fair is as important a "sound of freedom" as the sonic boom, afterburner,twin turbine.

Fly on little Robbie, fly on...
