They illustrate quite well what happens when the engineers get drunk. 😁 I am..........disturbed. Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any.

They had crews on alert whenever any flight activity was going on, as part of the Fire Dept Crash unit. If anybody declared any kind of emergency, they'd fire up and hoist the fire bottle (a red sphere about a yard in diameter) and fly near the runway, just in case. I always pitied the poor firefighter in back who had to don his full silver fire suit every time - even when it was 110 degrees on the ramp. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Figured they were timed, never considered timed and counter rotating. Is all of that complexity an advantage over a 4 bladed rotor? Guessing not, since it's not commonly used. Even by the military.

Whether that's two steps forward and one step back or two forward and three back is apparently open for debate. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
