Don't know it that one is true, but anything was possible at Ft. Wolters in the '60's.
Saw an OH-23 on take-off at about 50-75 feet do a 360 pedal turn and then continue the climb out, the IP looked at me and just shook his head. One luckless candidate tried to stop the main rotor from turning by grabbing the tail-rotor drive shaft of an OH-13, it grabbed his glove and flipped him over the otherside of the tailboon, just dislocated his shoulder!!!
