HH-65, Coast Guard detachment Gauntanamo Bay Flew with 'em on my weekends off.
And the Coasties in New Orleans.
Another wind up from the Queen.
Why not tell us all here of your hands on flying experience, not theory, not Walter Mitty LZ Dreams, not something you were involved in, or pondered from your cubicle, but FLEW, your hands on the sticks, for more than until you likely got banned from the cockpit for an offhand comment to the flight crew (that if on the CH-53E would reduce you to being given the relief tube to use as the intercom ....)
I (let alone any plain student!) certainly am not subject to your telling me what I should do, for you certainly have demonstrated far worse need of needing actual flight experience Mr. "lower the collective at the bottom of the autorotation"
Never in my life has there been a person more in need of an hour of dual actual flight instruction...
For you see while you can wonder away in your cube, pilots everyday are pushing cyclic, getting summed forces and the tip path tilts in the direction it was asked of it by us pilots. End of story, end of theory.
You should get your butt in a Robbie, unless of course you feel it is too much heli for you ...
Or are you over the 240 Lb seat crush limit ?
Now that excuse for not trying it is one I could buy without hesitation
Geez, this still not done? well, I've better things to do with my time ...
