Dick Mitten,
Heard of the slingshot departure, morelike the HOTSHOT departure. The quickest way to destroy your chances of ever dying in bed. A unfortunately for many, the effects of such slingshots are not felt for a while, then, some poor guy (You maybe) will be doing his job on the day the helicopter says enough.
Anyone who preaches such departures is overstressing that airframe, i dont care what anyone says, if you cant lift it, dont lift it, ..................die in bed.
