Love the metal version of Bowie's Space Oddity! Great job by Jamie Lopez.

from a 10 year Marine, and 13 year national guard(active duty) helicopter mechanic, the easiest way to describe how helicopters fly is this; "they simply beat the air into submission". I was a tactical fluid guidance technician, or simply put, a hydraulics mechanic. worked on the AH-1J, AH-1T/TOW, AH-1W, UN-1N, **OV-10, CH-53D/E, CH-46 at IMA level**

the men's department, lolol, that was always my reply back too.

back in 1980 I joined the Marines and was at New River Air Station assigned to HMA-269, at the time it was a Cobra sqdn. Next to us on the flt line was VMO-2, a OV-10 sqdn. They had the A & D models with them. The D models were outfitted with FLIR pods on the nose, they as I was told, couldn't carry any pax in the back due to the avionics package for the FLIR. The A models could carry five pax. I watched them remove the tail cone, then five Force Recon Marines got in the back wearing their chutes. They were facing towards the opening, knees pulled up and spread open, where the next Marine would back in between the formers knees... a$$hole to bellybutton. After the last Marine squeezed in, a three inch wide strap was hooked across the opening. For the drop, they would overfly the DZ and toss out a streamer to get the wind direction. on the next pass the bird would come in, then pull vertical and the five Marines would just fall out at about 1500 ft and get under canopy.
