Great blog from down south...

If you like reading about helicopters, you need to check out a site called "Voo Tatico", which is Portuguese for "Tactical Flight". It's run by an Army officer by the name of Marcus, who serves in the Brazilian military; a military which received high praise from the former commander of US Southern Command, Admiral James Stavridis.

Marcus has an affinity for rotary-wing aircraft, air assault tactics, and flight simulators. His blog has a great layout, excellent pictures, and awesome articles. Just run the site through Google Translate, and the English translation comes out perfectly.

Read along at the site or follow along at Facebook...

Not mentioning his heroism. Recently he was in a training flight at low level, flying a Eurocopter AS350, with a lieutenant as student, when the main rotor hit the ground and the heli crashed. Although Major Piffer (Marcus) was severily hit in the face, with a major injurie in one eye, he was able to carry the lieutenant out of the chopper and take him away from the burning machine, before the final explosion. For sure he is a great guy, and his work a good piece of reliable information in the web.

Best regards,
Speedy
