I appreciate your comments but you need to take into consideration that this was a full check prior to my flight with them and didn’t want to edit it out of the upload.

Rob Mason's book 'Chickenhawk' is one of the best of the many books about Helicopter pilots in Vietnam... he really goes into the details about the physics involved in making a helicopter fly and his training and subsequent tour. For those that want to get a small taste of flying a virtual Huey go to... www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/products/helicopters/huey/ Beware though... you will need a pretty tricked out PC to run the simulator software and prefrably some quality hardware to replicate the controls i.e. cyclic, collector and anti-torque pedals. If you have never flown a rotary before... it's a pretty steep learning curve even in this DCS simulator. As they say... "People fly fixed wing aircraft, pilots fly helicopters!" :)
