My Ears Never Fail Me...

While stationed at Fort Rucker, Ala., where helicopter pilots are trained, I learned to identify the different copters by their sound alone. Early one morning, I was awakened when one buzzed my barracks. I ran through the possibilities, but couldn't identify it. Intrigued by what kind of helicopter it could be, I sprinted to the window just in time to see the single engine, twin-bladed main rotor lawn mower come into view.

ROFL!!

Man, that is epic.

I heard those type of lawn mowers have very good manouverability, and can carry a fair few Amraams :bravo:
 
I've actually done this...there's an Army NG helo base a couple miles from campus, and I can usually ID a Huey, Blackhawk, or Chinook by the sound of the rotors...one day the "helicopter" turned out to be a campus golf cart. It was late :p
