Helicopters are extremely difficult to fly. Fixed wing aircraft are easier to learn and easier to master. Rotary aircraft flown by inexperienced pilots can kill you a thousand different ways. I've flown in quite a few and noticed that good pilots are few and far between, it seems to take quite a bit of training to get good enough to fly combat missions. A lot of the pilots in Iraq were older and much more grizzled looking than the jet jockeys.
They really are a dynamically unstable flying accident waiting to happen and the 3/1 glide ratio of autorotation is crap compared to the 12/1 glide of an engine out Cessna, and you may be spinning on landing.
Good times, good times.
They are not to bad to fly but landing them needs a lot of training. Especially on a ship in a heavy sea state
