  • How crap are helicopter gun ships?

    From what I've heard most of the British and American fatalities in this war so far are due to helicopter crashes.

    Can someone in the know give me the lowdown on their reliability record in past conflicts, and whether this is just coincidental.

    This is a discussion about helicopter gun ships, I don't want any general Iraq discussion threadjacking. Keep it on the subject of helicopters.
    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

      Well, this went downhill pretty fast.

      As for the helicopters, I'm not really sure. The British ones were Sea Kings, which crash almost all the time. Makes you wonder why they bother with them.

              Edit - ah, you meant the thread.

                I know, but don't you think was a tad tasteless?

                  I'm sure the Iraquis don't really care for your aesthetic pleasures, at this time.

                  two of your hellos went downhill, and they shouldn't be there in the 1st place.


                  the fact that how this happened is they collided in mid air makes it mildly amusing, in your slaughter house.

                  but let's keep it on topic:


                  I say it's the brit wrong way of driving myself.

                        Considering the source, its par for the course.

                            Anyway, back to Helicopters, people.

                            How many died in accidental helicopter crashes in Gulf War I?

                              You could consider the chopper that went down in New York state a week ago as well...
                              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
