As much as I TOTALLY disagree with that statement, helos are in fact the first choice of many people, including gatordev who if memory serves correctly did extremely well in Primary, and they continued to bug him to go jets after selection. Not everyone wants jets, for me it was only the P3 that I wanted, and I count myself lucking to have gotten this platform.

None taken, but just so you know, I have green ink in my log book.
