Thanks for checking in with us, Top Cat!! HOO AH!!
My closest cousin is a retired Army CWO-5 OH-6 pilot and civilian Ft Rucker instructor.
Spent 34 years myself mostly supporting the R/W community in uniform and as a civil servant -- mostly supporting the Marine Corps AH-1/UH-1, CH-53, VH-3 and Navy MH-60 R/S programs at NAVAIR. I've spent time at Mother Rucker myself (anyone who is *anyone* in R/W has spent time at Mother Rucker, no matter what uniform they wear...). Heck, I've even served a stint on the Joint Working group for the Future Vertical Lifter at the Pentagon. I have great affinity and respect for you Army R/W guys! Even if you don't see a need for rotor brakes, auto blade folding and folding tailbooms ... (From the sea!)
VL Rocks!
