Anyone buys one, I'll send a CCR disc free for a report on how it went.

Up for bid. 4 EH-60A Blackhawk helicopters.

Looks like key items like the generator and main rotor assembly were removed...likely not flyable as is.

Unfortunately when helicopters crash they fall straight down.

Or you could build yourself a manned rotor copter from common parts like this guy https://youtu.be/sVN-3Kr8fMM. Much shorter and cheaper than a Blackhawk and looks like a blast to fly.

I have a nice quadcopter drone. Its camera gives me all the best views! No need to take myself up into the wild blue yonder! I can stay safely on terra firma and still see what's going on. And if the drone crashes? I just buy another one! No broken bones for me!
