Original Message Never flew one, but did have some experience with one. A Dust Off helicopter landed in a large clearing on a very dark night in 1965, and hit a large tree in the center of the LZ. We went out in the morning to escort a very hot day. Don't know if he lost an engine, but it settled on the load which punched a big hole in the belly and ruined that pilots day. I think the first Chinooks arrived shortly after those events, which was probably a very good thing. Another Old Guy
