OPEN THREAD: HELICOPTERS CONTINUE TO BE AWESOME

Since the Sikorsky R-4 became the world's first mass produced helicopter, these impressive flying machines have proven invaluable to our hospitals, our firefighting crews, and our traffic reporters. More importantly, they are used for our most essential military purpose: hunting Predators.

We salute you, helicopters, and hope that today's Armed Forces Bowl does you honor. If not, you can just shoot rockets and miniguns and shit at it. This is your first open thread. Get to the choppa. Now.
