I worked with a guy who was a pilot in Vietnam and he said torquing that thing down was the favorite part of the job. Apparently flying out there sucked, he was telling me the other guys would string zipline-like wire from tree to tree in clearings to catch tail rotors, all manner of shit, so if you weren’t flying it was pretty nice
