I had the good fortune when our children were young to take them on a short helicopter ride when we visited Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Although the flight only lasted a few minutes it was amazing, scary, exhilarating and horrifying all at the same time. I’d do it again in a shot!

Helicopters for the U,S, military have been in service since 1941.

While the first models were clunky, unyielding and little more than frames with large propellers the later models were sophisticated war machines capable of amazing maneuverability and firepower.
