Heli v fixwing - no contest

A fixwing flies you - you have to fly a heli.

A fixwing has a captain, navigator, and engineer - with heli, you are all 3.

A fixwing you flightplan before you leave - with heli you do it on the run.

A fixwing, you walk aft to the can - with a heli, you go behind a tree.

A fixwing, it's a controled crash - with a heli, it's precision parking.

One could go on - we work hard, are hands on, and spend most of our lives in the dead mans curve.
