    My favorite helicopter fact is that helico means “spiral” like helix, and pter means “winged” like pterodactyl.

      My favorite is that a helicopter is being held up by something called a “Jesus Nut”. I do not feel safe in a machine that requires savior testicles in order to stay in the sky.
