| I'm sure there are some others here who know a lot more about helicopter mechanics than I do (DerAdler comes to mind), but I believe the difference between a helicopter that can be looped and one that can't has to do with the rotor system; I believe helicopters with an articulated rotor system, as opposed to a rigid rotor system, can be looped. Others can correct me if I'm wrong. |

| Got it; thanks for the clarification. parsifal, if you want to watch a cool helicopter movie and see one get looped, watch "Blue Thunder", with the late Roy Scheider. |

| Interesting story. I also heard that MI-24 HIND managed to shoot down a F-4 with its gun. True or false? This Sikorsky S-67 looked cool.

| Iranian F-4 Phantom II Units in Combat - Google Book Search This is the link to the article about the Iraq/Iran war where there is a claim that the Iraqi Mi-24 shot down an Iranian F-4. Hope the link works
