Thought this might raise a smile or two on a cold day.........and with all the greatest respect to our lady pilots.:) :) :)
Fly safely
Why Helicopters Are Better Than Women
· Helicopters don’t object to a pre-flight inspection.
· Helicopters can be turned on at any time, just by the flick of a switch.
· Helicopters come with manuals, which fully explain their operation.
· Helicopters have strict weight and balance limits.
· Helicopters can be flown at any time to suit you, both day and night.
· Helicopters don’t care how many helicopters you’ve flown before.
· Helicopters and their pilots always arrive at the same time.
· Helicopters operate better when flown as much as possible.
· Helicopters don’t mind if you test fly another helicopter.
· Helicopters expect to be properly tied down every night.
· Helicopters don’t mind if you buy magazines about other helicopters.
· Helicopters need to be regularly serviced.
· Helicopters don’t comment about your piloting skills to other helicopters.
· Helicopters kill you quickly; women take a long, long time.
· Helicopters don’t whine unless something is really wrong.
However,
When helicopters do go quiet, just like women, it’s a very, very bad thing !!

You neglected to mention that the maintenance costs of helicopters is substantially lower.

But I always thought:

"If it flies, floats or :mad: s ... it's cheaper to rent!"

The regulators insist that you have a dual check ride in a helicopter periodically; women seldom encourage such behavior!

After extensive research (aka watching Men Behaving Badly):

1 - helicopters only whine when there's really something wrong
2 - helicopters aren't obsessed with the size of their pitots
3 - helicopters can 'get up' straight away after 'performing'
4 - helicopters don't care how many pairs of shoes you have
5 - helicopters don't get jealous if you look at another helicopter
6 - you'll never hear "but I'll be quick..." from a helicopter
7 - helicopters won't brag to other helicopters about the last time you flew
8 - if you move up to a bigger and better helicopter, your old helicopter won't threaten suicide
9 - helicopters are perfectly happy to miss the <insert sporting event here> to go flying, whenever you want
10 - helicopters don't snore

However:

helicopters, once you've got the hang of them, can be made to do pretty much exactly what you want, most of the time...

so there! :=

8 - if you move up to a bigger and better helicopter, your old helicopter won't threaten suicide

should read

8 - if you move up to a younger and better helicopter, your old helicopter won't threaten suicide

BIGGER is not always better

I stand corrected :)

This is all based on hearsay and speculation, of course :ok:
