The things people will do to get into the World Record book...
If I asked you to try ot take the top off a beer bottl with a helicopter what do you think? I assume that you presume that they only way to manage this would be to use the propellers to slice the tops off. The video I found was captioned "USA vs Japan in the open a beer bottle with a helicopter contest." I didn't think that this would take long enough for a contest between two bored pilots, let alone two countries.
Well I was wrong. They attached a bottle opener to the right landing pad on the two helicopters. A video camera was mounted behind the opener to give the onlookers a good view of the action away from the blades of the helicopter.
The pilots had to manuever their machines close enough to the bottle to place it on top of the beer bottle to pop the top off. They were forced to hover about three feet off the ground in this stunt.
The announcing and the subtitles were in Japanese so I wasn't agle to hear what was going on. The American got the trophy at the end and said that he had won by three seconds. I hope that this publicity stunt ends that nagging question that has plagued all of us for so long...
Which country is better at opening beer bottles in a helicopter?
