Helicopters are useful to our nation in several functions. SAR operations, flood evacuation beside the normal army usage. He prefered to buy Sukhoi's and subamrines instead which is very limited in use.<BR/>So we have to keep on using these old and antiquated helicopters instead of procuring new ones. I had the chance to ride in one in 19990. The experience was scary as the whole aircraft was rattling from the rotors movement. The door nearly dropped off when opened after landing. Fortunately the personnel on bord with the help of a passenger managed to hold on to it so it didnt drop to the ground. At that time the craft was hovering some 15 feet from the ground.<BR/>Now its 17 yrs past and still they are in service. Its suicidal to ride in one now.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31876244.post-41413113717316272062007-07-18T18:51:00.000+08:002007-07-18T18:51:00.000+08:00I don't think there will be any mention of a "faul...I don't think there will be any mention of a "faulty" fuel pump during the enquiry.
