Hello Ladys and Gentelmen I have recently found myself in a position to have to defend my local airport and undoubtably helicopter noise came up as one of the hot topics. I would like to present helicoptes in a positive light. I belive that on average each helicopter produced saves about one...

The Navy uses helicopters to tow mine sweeping gear, and I heard that at least once helicopters were used to launch sailplanes for a contest. How do you calculate the tractive effort that a given helicopter could exert at a particular speed, density altitude, etc.? Thank you, Peter...

Recently came across a web site that lets you run a bid search for parts. Almost like EBay in reverse. Needed a battery for 206 and got several responses with greatly varing prices. Ended up with about 1/2 price of full retail. http://www.helicopteraircraftparts.com/ Gaylon

http://www.rockawave.com/news/2003/1024/Community/008.html Interesting that the ship is NOT in the traditional blue/white NYPD colors. And the N # is N23FH which I believe is dedicated to the 23 NYPD officers who died on 9/11. Thus "23 Fallen Heroes".

A person can sell their Life Insurance policy and receive up to 85% of its face value, tax-free. This lump sum cash settlement can then be used as the policyholder sees...

Just a theoretical question that someone may be able to help with. Alot of helicopters have only two rotor blades, ie:Robinsons, Bells, etc. Others have multiples, ie:dauphins with 4, Hughes etc. If a blade is thrown on a two blade, bend over and kiss your rear bye bye. What would happen if you had...

Anyone know where to purchase ear protection for dogs? Am told it exists, but can't find it anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. --Shirley

Enroute to maintenance for another matter yesterday I was cruising at 80% and about 110kts when I noticed that I didn't seem to have hydraulics in the upper-right to lower-left direction on the cyclic, but movement from upper-left to lower right required no effort. Hyd Switch was on , so I popped...

I'm watching the President's speech on CNN now at Kill Devil Hills. The fact that there's a _huge_ TFR surrounding the area bothers me a little. I wonder is he's really aware of how much impact he had on GA and the people trying to get in and out of there. I did notice that unlike the routine...
