That must of been a piss off. Obviously someone took his parking spot,

I never really thought about it till now, but how does a chinook rotate without a tail rotor? It is all just differential rotor rotation? If so, does that mean you can turn around different axis' depending on which blade you use as the pivot?

"Tandem rotor designs achieve yaw by applying opposite left and right cyclic to each rotor, effectively pulling both ends of the helicopter in opposite directions."

is that the pilot in the door going "Look! no hands!!"

^ahhh neato, thanks for that. Man, I forgot how complex helicopters were.
