That is super neat. Color me jelly.
I almost got some stick time at their Mesa facility - a friend of mine was a test pilot there - but the flight was cancelled.
Look, Ma, no tail rotor!
Most folks don't realize that a lot of the noise a helicopter makes is due to the interface between main rotor and tail rotor air. The NOTAR is very quiet compared to other helos.
I forgot a Taiwan S-70, King Air, Queen Air, and a bunch of small private airplanes.
Nice walk down memory lane!
