Whirls,

Also limited in the payload department are they not? as well as the range department, oh and they don't fly very fast so get a bit of a headwind component and its a bit of a bummer. They are pretty maintenance intensive per flying hour too....
Helicopters are uniquely very useful for certain tasks. i have no issue with that. Helicopter pilots more skilled than fixed wing?......well i'd have to take up cudgels with you on that point! Its just a different skill. You are not "sky gods".

ShyTorque,
No, not american.....i just lack your apparent pomposity.

Kind regards.
