That happened 20 miles from my town. Estonian (?) company was hired to give a ride to 99 year old man as a birthday present. It was overweight and crashed. Man suffered broken bones and subsequently died. Estonian company was found guilty, they didn't even had correct papers to fly in Sweden.

A barrel-roll in a chinook has to be interesting indeed!

One of the disadvantages of a fully articulated rotor system, such as that found on the CH-47 Chinook helicopter, is the susceptibility to ground resonance. Items to consider in limiting the chances of encountering ground resonance include ensuring that all tires are inflated to 88 psi and all landing gear struts and blade dampeners are properly serviced. The two videos below show the result of a Chinook helicopter falling victim to ground resonance. The tail number was 84-24156, and was the one that previously encountered uncommanded flight control inputs which resulted in the aircraft performing a barrel roll. After the roll incident, the aircraft was assigned to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, and was utilized as a ground test device.

What would Star Trek be like with a broad Scottish accent and attitude? Well maybe a bit like this!

Bad language warning (if you can make it out)

Possibly the most politically incorrect TV commercial I've seen. Makes me happy to own a VW!
