Helicopters are useless and dangerous!!
No..not really.
But I have had the "pleasure" of having to argue this point with some fixed wing people lately, and even a couple of rotorheads!!
Arguments like "they are useless because they are slow, and ugly" and "if the engine fails below 400' you are DEAD" came up with some regularity. The latter from a heli pilot.
In the end I chose to ignore the ignorance, but is this a common theme out there...or did I just stumble into the wrong place??
