Dear Comrade Al-Blogunov,
During my days as a Fascist Stormtrooper of the Criminal Bourgeois Elites (Thank Stalin I was cured!), I flew that helicopter route around DC a couple times (It was an excuse for us to go to DC and schmooze at HQ). I remember being much lower, I think 200ft while in that area. I recall looking out the window and seeing the Watergate Hotel and the National Mall all lined up and we weren't that much higher than the hotel. This was like last century so, things may have changed. I'm also surprised that they didn't have another person in the back as it was night, under NVG's. In this case, the crewchief was on the right and if the pilot flying was in the right seat, there was only one set of eyes out the left. Very sad all the way around.
As Always, in great anticipation of the GWONT,
Dimitri
Interesting and informative, comrade. Which type of culturally appropriated rotor craft did you fly?
Comrade, please excuse the slow response as I've been on a very long bender due to the cancelation of my grant from USAID. Most of my time was on what is now referred to as 'legacy' aircraft, UH-1 and OH-58. With just years to retire, I was 'gifted' a transition to the 'advanced' OH-58D, it was a P I G PIG! I guess being an ass to all the right people didn't pay off, huh? Never learned my lesson, went for the grant instead of a real job. My judgement has a lot to be desired, ask my probation officer.
As Always, in Great Socialist Brotherhood,
Dimitri
