And I have a fear of helicopters. When I was a kid, I was in a hard landing in one when the engine quit shortly after takeoff. Not really what you would call a crash, no one hurt, but it was starting to rotate and hit the ground pretty hard and lean over a bit on one skid before finally setting down level. It was a very small helicopter used for crop dusting. The booms for spraying the chemicals was what kept it from going over.
Haven't been on one since.
