LESSON #1: Terminology

A) Do *not* call them "choppers." Ever. Usage of said word will immediately peg you as a "wannabe" or outsider.

B) Do not call them "helos" either.

C) Real helicopter pilots refer to their aircraft as a "ship." Sometimes, American pilots will affectionately call their ship a "bird."
