Mainly to keep in touch with long lost shipmates from my days aboard the USS Andrew Jackson and keep tabs on the ingredients that my wife is putting into my food from her incessant recipe scrounging there but somehow got sucked into the multitude of pages. I have found out the hard way that here is the most productive way to secure horse nonsense and parts as well as keeping up to speed on brother Pullstart's trips to the ER. 'Sides the twisted submarine guys have this thing for posting pin up dolls... Edited December 9, 2024 by WHX?? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don’t give a bit (except Hughes/ Boeing 500s), and concrete is some hard stuff! Edited December 9, 2024 by kpinnc 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 13,340 #20 Posted December 9, 2024 I’ve heard it said that a helicopter is 6,000 parts flying in close formation. Also, that they have the highest percentage of flight-critical components of any powered aircraft. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, that they have the highest percentage of flight-critical components of any powered aircraft. Sounds about right on the number of parts, unless you’re talking Chinooks. They can have in-flight collisions with themselves. They may have more flight-critical parts, but when maintained properly they are safer than any other aircraft. And yes, they glide better than a Cessna. At least the older ones (up into the 1990s) do. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is he had the parachute attached to himself and jettisoned the mower over the wooded area. Wish I knew when and where this took place so I could check the obituaries to see if the cause of death was listed. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
