I dont want to act as I would be cool nor am I anti american but this is such a bullshit story, omg, how could anyone believe this load of ****,
this is part of another stupid try to overplay the vietnam trauma in telling how the GIs had to improvise against hordes of VC and NVAs, because Washington shitted its troops. Someone watched too much Chuck Norris Movies. OMG!!!!

It could be that Iraq had the first A-A kill against an Cobra with a Hind, but I have to look for it.

Here's another story of Lima Site 85.

The Fall of Lima Site 85
Now read it and stop being a d!ck.

Hi Eric,

>It used a wooden prop and is one of the few (Maybe only) airplane to actually use a muffler!

To get back on topic, here is a mufflered Antonov An-2

Actually the Avatar is complements of the mods, lets call it a going away gift.

This turd was doomed from the start - usually I would of allowed him to present his argument then I looked at his name and determined

1. He's an idiot
2. It was very likely his time here would be short

Anyway a great story and VERY TRUE!!!

I'm sure there are some others here who know a lot more about helicopter mechanics than I do (DerAdler comes to mind), but I believe the difference between a helicopter that can be looped and one that can't has to do with the rotor system; I believe helicopters with an articulated rotor system, as opposed to a rigid rotor system, can be looped. Others can correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah you can. There are lots of Helos than can do barrel rolls and loops and everything including: AH-64A Apache, UH-60 Blackhawk, Lynx, Bo 105, Mangusta, etc...

Actually you have it backwards. Helos with a rigid rotor system can perform loops, etc...

Got it; thanks for the clarification. parsifal, if you want to watch a cool helicopter movie and see one get looped, watch "Blue Thunder", with the late Roy Scheider.

Was the Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk the first helicopter capable of performing aerobatics?
