Hi, Ive come to this thread late and it seems to be getting away from the original thread however, it does have a modicum of comedy and enjoyment in it.
Presonally. both sides of the pond have there good and bad elements. Some of the most professional helicopter pilots I have met (and I have been flying rotary since 1984) have been Americans and just like us in the UK they have some complete buffoons who should not be let lose with a kids buggy (with or without a kid in it).
SASless, I kinda like you chap, you have one thing that 99% of all Americans do not have; the ability to banter. So start teaching the rest of your continent and the good ole USA will be an even better place.
