Unhappy

Strangely enough the aft pylon on the Chinook can be made to detach by selecting too much nose up during a zero speed dust landing: suddenly introducing the rapidly rotating blades to the ground in this ungentlemanly manner upsets them somewhat and they decide to jump ship along with most of the rest of the back of the aircraft. But it takes Sqn execs to do it properly!!!
