And I don't think any REAL pilot would thumbs down the opportunity to at least TRY a different type of aircraft. The interesting fact is, a helicopter has a better chance of surviving a total engine failure than a fixed-wing plane does, because it can autorotate to a small patch of ground, without needing a long, unobstructed landing zone. |
