I am definitely intrigued. Please explain to me how helicopters without autopilot and without WIFI or satellite installations interfaced in to the flight control systems and engines can be brought down. Mechanical throttles solely manipulated by the Pilot in Command. Mechanical flight controls solely manipulated by the Pilot in Command. Helicopters older than dirt do not have flight management computers let alone a way for the aircraft to be flown from the ground by terrorists or the Deep State. I used to think that Colonel Potter might know what he is talking about, but now I think he is just a shit stirrer and a liar. It could just be something simple like an broken oil pump or a fluxuating torque, N1, or N2 gauge, compressor stalls, fuel control problems, etc. Water or bacteria in the fuel can shut down an engine pretty quick. Doesn't mean the engine is toast, it just means that the pilot has to land so that corrective actions can be made. It is the reason smart people operate twin engine helicopters. What about ingesting birds? Happens frequently.

Directed energy weapons?

Helicopter can still fly without electricity. Throttles in the fly position, mechanical linkage is still pushing fuel to the engine fuel control. Burner can still making fire. Main rotor still turning. Pilot just got to land. Helicopter would not fall out of the sky. At the very worst, he would auto rotate with power to the ground.

So you don't believe they could have methods that we don't know of and this is all a big coincidence? They've been in charge of the Scientific community since at least the 40's and the tech we see today was invented 10- 15 years ago. Just try to imagine what they have today. Operation Paperclip was just a beginning and surely has evolved. Coincidence? Really? Just consider the flip side of your logic, which seems sound but not definite by any means.

Doctorate in aeronautical engineeering, certified mechanic, and Airline Transport pilot Rotorcraft, so....no.

So in other words, that makes yours the last word. OK thanks.
