Going on one of these tomorrow, Nick-named the "Death Banana" but its actually a Chinook

Going through the mountains and the valleys for a jolly, should be fun if i live to tell the tale

I cant seem to put [img] and [/img] on them as there off a web site, so dont try if you want to

Chinooks are perfectly safe until you have a rotor head failure when the intermeshing rotors hit each other and you drop like a stone................

Rad has a habit of walking around naked in the middle of winter, I wouldn't be surprised if he was chasing penguins in the snow in his birthday suit

Enjoy the ride, experience of a lifetime that

That sound... The pilot said to me, when its gets deeper its when the blades are getting closer

So when we was going sideways round a valley and all i could here was the deeper sound getting deeper deeper and deeper , you could say it was a brown pants moment
