Yes, they are often referred to as vomit comets, puke buckets, and other less than desirable references. However, I did meet a gal once that went from 200 hours in a R22 straight to an Aircrane SIC job. She got lucky in that the pilot liked to teach, so she learned a ton, and got to fly most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITs fun to fly the Heavies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
