Viet Cong shot down my Grandpa's helicopter 5 times (may have been north Vietnam). Helicopters are death traps. He said he begrudgingly respects their fighting abilities.

You should maybe stop getting in the helicopters after the 3rd time or so.

Then again, imperialist grandpa btfo.

He refuses to fly helicopters. After he got discharged because he kinda lost it (got he shakes), he became an airplane pilot. Loves planes, but hates helicopters. Told me to never get into a helicopter. He learned his lesson.

You could smoke on planes then so I'm kinda not sure if there was a vetting process.
