>Uh, never heard of "LHX", whatever that means.
LHX - a chopper simulator.  You get to fly one of:
Black hawk, Apache, LHX attack chopper, or an Osprey (YES!)  It's pretty touchy
at the controls in an Osprey, but I prefer it for rescue missions flying at 50
to 200 feet. :)

Yup, but veeeerrrrrry slowly. :)

>>Is there a better way?????
Use yer chain guns. :)

>So it's a blow 'em up flying game?  Sounds like my cup o'tea...
Probably. I like it anyway. ;)
