    Right??? Or just more propaganda?

    [Quote] When you're faced with an engine failure in an Apache Helicopter, there is only one option for your survival: you hit the silk.

    When you're in combat, your parachute working could be the difference between life and death.

    In this fight, there is no parachute and there is no exit strategy if we lose.



    If we hit the eject button on our mission, we will fail and the socialists and Marxist fools you see roleplaying as terrorists on college campuses will take control of our country.

    That is what is at stake here.



    Democrats are bringing in millions from dark money donors from across the country to defeat me in one of the most competitive races in America, and they've already reserved millions to spread lies about me in the media.

    This isn't about my career; this is about the future of our country.

    Can you help us fight back so we can protect this district and prevent a Democrat majority?



    Fighting for you,
    John James

    The truth is:

    It's worth noting that helicopter ejection systems are much more complex than those found in fixed-wing aircraft, and incorporating such systems into a helicopter like the Apache would present significant engineering challenges. As a result, Apache pilots do not have the ability to open the canopy and parachute out of the aircraft in the same way that pilots of some fixed-wing aircraft can.

    "Auto-rotation" you're only chance of survival on losing an engine in a rotor wing aircraft, unless it's a multi-engined model.
