My brother watched a ROK captain walk into the blades if an
idling huey that was parked on a slope. Dunno if he was wearing
a steel or FG helmet, but the guy was definitely dead.
A couple of years back at an airfield near me, a guy landed his
Robbo and climbed out. His little girl came running up to him,
and without thinking, he grabbed her and threw her in the air,
as you do. Running-down rotor had her head right off. How nasty
would that be to live with the rest of your life ...

Although you've got me thinking now... I just had a look at the local
paper's archive for the last few years, and couldn't find anything. But
I have this very clear memory of reading it, and also of thinking at the
time how weird it was that something like this, which sounded like
pure urban legend, had actually happened right on my doorstep.
I have a friend who flies Robbos and Jet - Rs, and has an
encyclopaedic knowledge of air accidents.
I'll give him a call tomorrow and see if he remembers it. In the
meantime, just assume that I'm wrong !!
Propellars, rotary wings, jet engines, you always have to stay highly

When I was in the Army at McGregor Range, I saw a car that had its top cut
off. There were some officers in that car, and parts of bodies left when I saw
it. It got hit with a train or truck but I forget the details.
