Helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by its nature
wants to fly and, if not interfered with too strongly by unusual
events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter
does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces
and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any
disturbance in the delicate balance, the helicopter stops flying, im-
mediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter.
This is why a helicopter pilot is so different a being from an air-
plane pilot, and why in general, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed,
buoyant extroverts, and helicopter pilots are brooders, introspec-
tive anticipators of trouble, They know if something bad has not
happened, it is about to.
