10 APR 08: ‘YOU CAN’T DO THAT IN A HELICOPTER!’

 “YOU can’t do that with a helicopter!” That’s the usual reaction to seeing the Red Bull Aerobatic Helicopter Display. It will perform at this year’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2008 for the first time. Red Bull’s BO-105 CBS helicopter, a stock Bolkow, is flown by Chuck Aaron, the only pilot licensed in the US to fly aerobatics in a helicopter.

His performances feature aerobatic manoeuvres achieved previously only in fixed-wing aircraft, including loops and rolls, the Split-S, Immelman, Half Cuban Eight, and even the Lomcevak, slightly modified by Aaron. “I ended up having the manoeuvre named after me – the Chuckcevak,” joked Aaron.
