Sergeant Stephen Trujillo, a medic in the 2d Ranger Battalion, 75th Infantry, was in the first helicopter to land at the compound held by Cuban forces in Grenada. He saw three other helicopters crash. Despite the imminent explosion of the burning aircraft, he never hesitated. He ran across 25 yards of open terrain through enemy fire to rescue wounded soldiers.
Two will run half-speed or a little better, and one will do a little." "One remains dead?" "Yes, sir. But we can repair that on the way. Rudders and propellers will do. Helicopters O.K." "And floats?" "Both aft floats repaired, sir. One is cut down a third, and one a half, but they will serve." "How about petrol?" the Master demanded.
Four of 'em are about the same shape as our battleships. No wings they act like helicopters." "Four of them are battleships, right enough, but what about the other four?" asked DuQuesne. "They are not ships or planes or anything else that I ever heard of." "They are animals," asserted Crane. "Machines never were and never will be built like that."
"What the devil, sir ?" began the major; but the chief held up his hand for silence. Again he spoke whisperingly into the strange apparatus. This time a murmur rose to him; a murmur increasing to a confused tumult, that in an angry wave of malediction beat up about Nissr as she hung there with spinning helicopters, over the city.
Probably United Nations observers on the scene, too. Yes. There should be Army men and probably a United Nations team up where Dillon was. Coburn explained to the girl. "That'll be it. And they'll have a radio, too. Probably helicopters taking them out also. I'll go up and tell them to be sure and have room for you." He started for the cliff he'd seen Dillon climb.
Above the four public stages, helicopters swarmed like May flies May flies which had mutated and invented ritual or military drill or choreography coming in in four streams to the tips of the arms and rising vertically from the middle. There was about ten times the normal amount of traffic for this early in the morning. He wondered, briefly, then remembered, and cursed. That infernal sale!

Stealthy bombers and strike aircraft either land or sea platform based Arsenal ships Submarines with conventional cruise missiles Stealthy land vehicles Stealthy observation/attack helicopters Stealth, combined with stand off, will contribute strongly to the protection of manned systems on the modern battlefield and will also be used extensively for other, high-value unmanned systems.
"They say to try to make it out in my car," he told Jill wryly. "As civilians, I suppose they haven't any helicopters they can give orders to. But it probably makes sense. If there are some queer creatures around, there's no point in stirring them up with a flying contraption banging around near their landing place. Not before we're ready to take real action. Come along.
Here were the starting, stopping, and speed controls of the helicopters, which were under direct electrical motivation by the pilot.
