Vietnam was something else for helicopter pilots. That level of skill would be hard for a perfectly-programmed autopilot to do.&lt;p&gt;With regards to Vietnam, a legend that I was told (but cannot confirm) was that Hueys had such bad tail rotor authority that they would take off straight up with the whole airframe spinning. Once high enough, the pilot would start the helicopter moving forward, which would allow the tail rotor to bite more, and the helicopter would stabilize.&lt;p&gt;Crazy if true. And after seeing a stunt like that by a bona fide insane and top-tier veteran pilot, I believe the legend.</text></comment>

I would be terrified of some kind of reverse ground effect from the road overhead.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s basically a 1990s version of barnstorming.</text></comment>
