Mr Salman's helicopter differs from the Apache in other ways, too

In that it will never leave the ground?!?:

Poor guy. Why do people do this? Wasn't there a guy in Africa making an "aeroplane" out of scrap in a slum somewhere?

Its sad to see people as delusional as that.

And one has to assume that he hasn't gone to all that trouble as a joke.
