Is this chopper about to crash? by
Trentus
It would appear that the majority in aus.aviation seem to think this shot
http://www.thedamnedestthing.com/page15.html was moments from impact, but

I was hoping that I could get some advice on the Ultrasport Kit

UK, and there are no...

In Flight Malfunctions and Emergencies by
Rocky
Seems this area hasn't been touched in awhile and the group is getting

Are the CH-53's and CH-47's getting their engines upgraded or replaced? I

You will have to be signed off by and instructor for that aircraft. Do you
