Red Bull Helicopter Does Back Flips!

Brian That Was Awesome, Damn... Don D.

Yes, it does back flips. It is a Eurocopter BO-105 CBS 4 Twin engine helicopter. Stock model with a Rigid Rotor system, the fixed rotor is why it can do aerobatics....... Brian

The pilot is really a great aerobatics performer. Remember, tho, there are old pilots, there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots. .

You sure? The last Old Gold cigs I saw were in a box of beanie weinie c rations that were packaged in...1948, the year of my birth. I was eating the c-rats in Vietnam, 1969 - smoked the Old Golds that afternoon. It seems to me they we not filter cigs. LOL!
SGM B out.

Yup, remember those and don't forget the Chesterfields! On a better note, how bout the peaches and pound cake, way good! (Course that was nearly 50 years ago, maybe they weren't really all that good.) The little tins of peanut butter didn't tast bad, but dry as a popcorn fart. The eggs and ham would absolutely run a maggot off a gut wagon.

When the early warnings about cigarettes came out, I was running a gas/diesel dock for small. up to 50 ft, yachts. A Dr' s yacht a 48 ft Chris Craft , came in and was filing up, smoking cigar. so I asked him to stay in the fly bridge while the gas was running. He did and I , as he sat there smoking a cigar, if tobacco caused lung cancer. He replied that it was true, in fact, it was MUCH worse than that ! So I asked why he smoked a cigar. He took the cigar out of his mouth and said, these only cause lip and tongue cancer! Popped it right back into his mouth and puffed.....
