Why Oprah is a phony.

[sparks19]

I like Oprah and I like Dean Kamen too. I especially enjoy watching him fly his helecopter to & from work each day.

I want to ride in a helicopter. that is one thing I haven't done that I would really like to experience.

LOL it beats driving that's for sure lol

Well lets look at it this way.
If you are a low income earner....taxed less, you will be able to afford to fly in your helicopter sooner.
If you are a high income earner, taxed more, then you are still going to be able to fly in your helicopter, but it may have to be tomorrow.
Soon....we may all have had that experience.
Oh...by the way...I fell out of a helicopter once....so I'll just sit back and watch you going for the ride... LOL
( Have I opened up another Pandora's box here ??? If so, I will hide behind my sandbags until the barrage is over...LOL )

A helicopter is 50,000 parts all moving the wrong way in close formation.

It's the crew chief's job to keep the formation as tight as possible.

I have NO further interest in flying in an eggbeater.

Dumb PFC sitting in the back of a chinook talking to the crew chief:

"Sarge, why is that barrel of hydraulic fluid sitting back there with the hand pump in it?"

"Look up, Pvt. See that gearbox?"

"yep"

"See how it's leaking?"

" Yep"

" The hand pump is to keep it full. If it stops leaking, we stop flying"

And that was the last time that Pvt. flew on a heliochopter

We have ridden in helicopters, both times in tourist situations (Florida and Hawai'i) and it was really cool! Despite knowing how my brother feels about them.

Oh my goodness....yes.
Those things are 20,000 rattling rivets flying in formation, and every one making a different sound.
