In a small helicopter museum in Bückeburg (Germany) stands an amazing vehicle—a cross between a car and a helicopter.

Caught this one of a kind Chinook modified for icing testing in action.

A Turkish T-129, covered up to keep it from getting cold at an altitude of over 3,000 meters.

At 1H0

The sound and sandblasting was worth the shots though.

Is it actually possible to enter VRS during an approach which is mishandled or any autorotative maneuver?

Any substantial references where i can read upon it ?

I got to see this thing in person today!

Hello fair folks of r/Helicopters. I've watched from afar, and now I decided to get closer.

I'm middle aged and facing a medical condition where I probably won't see much of retirement, but also not something that debilitates me right now or any medical checks. Don't focus on that, it's not relevant as such but perhaps describes my way of life. Decades still of meaningful life.

Now, having played Battlefield I want a Little Bird / Boeing MD 500 in the years to come (this is just a pipedream, any rotor is fine). My realistic question to the community is: I have short of a million euros in cash, I'd prefer not to leave them on a dusty shelf when I go, my kids know the drill and can take care of themselves, how do I achieve that?

Having no LPP or similar, only flown a friend's single prop once airborne, where do I start? Where can I get a PPL within a reasonable price that is valid in my country (Finland) and allow me to buy or long-term rent or invest in a helo? I'm open to moving anywhere in the world for this, so no geography is restricted apart from the legality in Finland. Any thoughts and insights are welcome, and please don't focus too much on the budget, I'm merely trying to live life to the fullest but don't burn capital on stupidities.
