Helos sure have changed a fair dinkum since I was in the garb, that IS for sure... but even when young, those few pilots could do some acrobatics to make the eye smile, like I am now.
I was just trying to picture it in my mind, a whole huge multi-ton Naval vessel, coming into dock mighty slow, then being allowed by her commander to be "nudged" to morring by God's own breeze... lovely image for the heart ain't it.
Us on the fixed wings, a whole different sense of how to go up and down from helo's, and basically, I'd rather float than drop like a rock if it could be helped.
