I was having dinner a couple of weeks ago and saw this cruise by...I thought the pilot must be brave.

Don't those helipads on some of those "smaller" boats slide out on some sort of track to allow for a safer landing? I don't know this for sure, just assuming it's how it works because it makes sense, that's all...

Helicopters can do almost everything.
It's even possible to fly a looping.

I remember seeing a copter perform a loop in Airwolf (or was it Blue Thunder)? I did not know if it was real or just fancy camera work/special effects.
