BACKSTORY: Whirlybirds are fun to ride around in. Sure, my BDUs inflated like a balloon and my hard-rank whipped me around the chin and face a bit, and I had to squint from the propwash, but there isn't anything quite like being suspended 150 meters off the ground by only a simple canvas strap as the helo does a near-90 degree bank. Look out the door and look straight at the ground. Fragging awesome.
