Mmmm .....

If your going to have to ride a machine down the Hu 369 series is the one to do it in as far as crashworthiness is concerned ...

Very very strong 'egg' shaped fuselage construction ... but do wear a helmet!

It is however a 'rapid' decent in the 'Auto' ....


(I got my 500 endorsement (back in '76) from a ex 'US Army 'Loach' driver and some of the 'auto' techniques (to touchdown) I learned from him should be made mandatory for everybody flying S/E helicopters...)
