Does anybody pay real money to buy that paper?? With articles from "reporters" who have obviously never set their backsides in a helicopter?
Biggest load of cr@p I ever read, it was meant to be amusing, but missed the mark by a couple of futz-meters.

Easy, A.C. -
it is a satire paper - nobody pays for it, and I'm sure you are right that the writers haven't been in a helicopter.
The Onion is pretty funny the way SNL is pretty funny - sometimes LMAO funny, sometimes no so.

The Onion is a satire, folks
And a pretty good one, too. My wife showed me that article when I came back from LongRanger training. She said that it sounded just like I did when I was starting out in this helicopter stuff.
Did anybody else laugh out loud at the part where they guy talks about that annoying buzzer that always comes on "...30 seconds into your flight"?
Cheers.
