TRIVIA QUESTIONS (#2)

The correct answers to last weeks questions are:

Coaxial helicopters have two counterrotating rotors on the same vertical axis.

1944: In Oakland, the Hiller Helicopter XH-44 achieved many firsts. It was the first successful coaxial rotor helicopter to fly in America, the first to use all metal rotor blades and the first helicopter to be built on the West Coast.

Two "ROTORHEADS" answered the questions. One of them, Jim Burns had the correct answer. Congrats to Jim. (I will probably get nailed with one of these questions some day by not having the correct answer)

This weeks questions are:

1. What was the first helicopter to go through its service life with no aircraft attributable loss of life or accidents?

2. What was "Operation Alert" 195 7 and what was significant about this event?

Only answers to be considered will be those answered by using the comment section of the Blog.

To do this click on "comments" at the bottom of this post. It will open a page for you to leave your comment. Enter your answers in the comment section. Scroll down to the "Choose an Identity" and select "Other". This will open another page which should still contain your answers. Go to "put in your name" and enter your name. Then hit publish. The Blog will then reopen and you can check at the bottom and it should have a number by the "comments."

I will post the questions in the Blog each Wednesday. On the following Wednesday I will post the correct answer, number of rotorheads that answered, and the individual(s) that had the correct answer. If there are any questions and/or problems please email me.
Thanks Jim M
