I don't trust helicopters.

I love that flight and I enjoy helicopters, though I know they have all the
glide propensity of a housebrick. I particularly enjoy the take off and
landing bit - none of that racing down runways and hoping it's going to make
it into the air before the tarmac runs out!

When a helicopter engine conks out there isn't another to keep it flying.

Sure. But mostly they don't. ;-)
