The Loose Association of Wargamers

So now I'm googling 'biggest autogyro' and I get the 100-passenger Kamov KA-22, which kind of squeaks in because one of its flight modes is under unpowered rotors.

Briefly....

Anything can fly briefly. I was in a chopper with a sheared off tail rotor which flew briefly.

In much the same vein, all mushrooms are edible.

Indeed. It was a bad landing.

"This is your pilot speaking: we have just altered our flightpath - it is now downwards....."

Actually, his last word was "SHIT!"

Variation on old joke: I want to die like my father did - peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like all his passengers.

Well said.
Right, booked in for Lake District Gyroplanes. The next Friday that has viable flying weather, I'm going to fly an autogyro. You lot can have me toy soldiers if I scatter meself over the fells.

So we really can say: "It's what he would have wanted? Terrific!"

But sad, too, obviously.....
