About this ebook

In every industry there are a few thought-leaders who engage the community and transcend the status quo. In the world of helicopters, Captain Randy Mains is such a leader. His "My 2 Cents' Worth" column in every issue of Rotorcraft Pro magazine has been a consistent voice of sanity and entertainment. Over the years his indelible writings have made readers laugh, think, and (hopefully) fly much safer!

His keen insights, memorable musings, and practical applications are all collected here and freely dispensed to you in a silver cup. Drink them up and they will help you make it home safely. I speak for the entire Rotorcraft Pro team when I say it is a great pleasure for us to present the words and wisdom of Randy Mains. Lyn Burks Editor-in-Chief Rotorcraft Pro.
