I thought that it might be the South African Rooivalk, but the Rooivalk does not have a fenestron. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3AlfNT...eature=related

Thought it might havebeen the Chinese Z-10. Not that either.

Maybe an Augusta 129, but that doesn't have a fenestron, either.

I give up.

212 Dude

thanks for the website. Looked at the Kawasaki website, but not close enough. I like your slight touch of arrogance in your comment, as well. You should consider Druidism. I became a Druid and learned to channel my anger through sacrificing. Firing off a few rounds through the neighborhood helps, too.

Not close enough? It can't get much closer - it's the same aircraft!

Do we need to provide you screengrabs from the vid to prove it to you?



Hmmm, I'm thinking that you might well be better suited to druidism rather than aircraft identification...

Arrogant? I thought I was quite restrained! The clue is in JAPANESE Defence Force

On a question of the druids or coonieites for example,

There are many exclusive groups in the world like the coonieites, for example..

The thing that distinguishes a cult among many other things is this singular belief that all other Christians are wrong. The LDS and JW are among the most sincere people you would meet but their theology is far from mainstream beliefs.

Here are some sites you can research to see if your group is among those described
www.mayhem.net/Crime/cults1.html
http://religion-cults.com/
I suggest that you do your own research because many sites portray a biased point of view.
I've always found that people with a singularly obstinate point of view don't fit well in the command seat of a rotary aircraft, which in themselves are expressions of fluid and extremely flexible variability.

Just an observation, and perhaps demonstrated above????

Not that I am confusing that with astute observation and decision making when appropriate

That defines all religions as cults. All religions believe that their particular brand is the "one and only", and has been the source of too many of the worlds conflicts.

Tailspin Tommy, Nice recovery from that high ROD.
I'm still worried about the panties though.

I believe it has the nickname 'Ninja' developed as a technology demonstrator.

My two cents
