Exactly. Techs know a lot more about the actual airframe than the pilots, but film crews always seem to want to interview the pilots!

That loadout, with the M3 on one side and missile stub wing on the other must look very freaky in flight. However it gives a lot of mission versatility.

@@dthomas9230 It's the standard in helicopters, though. Even in the USA, the captain's seat (pilot in command) is on the right in a helicopter, at least as far back as the Huey from the 1950s. The instrument panel is usually the giveaway.

@cliffordwebb3656 10 ай бұрын

As I understand it, what happens is that when aircraft from opposing directions meet, the English or Japanese pilots circle and discuss the potential options in the following manner: Pilot number one says "After you", to which pilot number two says "No, after you" etc. The French and Italians just carry on regardless. @@dthomas9230
