I can't drive a helicopter. Nor can I operate one. Austin can, as the pic shows.

:cool:

isnt he on the wrong side? I thought the pilot sits on the left and Navigator sits on the right?

Or maybe not - been a long time since I was in a Blackhawk :^)

the throttle/collective pitch lever are usually located in the center of the aircraft between the two seats. the cyclic pitch lever is located between the pilots legs and is used with the pilots strong hand as it is what you use to control the aircraft for the most part. so if your right handed you want the throttle/collective pitch in your left hand so you would sit on the right. Most models of the blackhawk like the UH-60 have a cyclic pitch lever for both the left and right seats making the aircraft ambidextrous and gives a Co-pilot the ability to fly if the pilot is incapacitated.

I'm just taking a guess here but I'm thinking that piloting the Black Hawk would be a total rush for someone with Austin's background in FIRST and with team 45. That's a lot of power so you know he had to be grinning.
