Forget all about phase lag and tail rotor drift and think of somethings that would please you if they turned up in the stocking hanging at the end of the bed on Christmas morning.
Shapely dames are a definite but what other gadgets might you like.
1. Tail rotors that play classical music during approaches to landing site in residential areas.
2. Windscreen rip of strips like F1 drivers helmet vizors.
3. Central locking and remote control, for access panels and luggage lockers.
4. Self closing passenger doors.
5. Shoe pollishing device on pedals.
6. Self parking and auto refuelling program.

Oil field clocks that measure minutes by other than hours increments....
Management that knows what a helicopter is....
Employee pay tied to Senior management bonus payments...

A quiet shift Christmas eve/Christmas morning. Don't want to be called out to a Santa Claus suffering from a double reindeer failure.

All I want for Christmas is:
The pay the IRS thinks I make
The days off my supervisor thinks I take
The flight attendants my ex-wife thought I got
