#5 An insh'allah spanner removes the allah nut. In more pressing cases, garden variety allah nuts can be clubbed to death using the insh'allah spanner.

#6 Would it be appropriate to explain to those in Rantburg-land that are unknowing of helicopter parts the importance of the Jesus nut?
its that itty-bitty part that holds the rotorblades and head on; without it you can expect to see Jesus, real soon.
related note: that big fan on top is not solely for flight; it also provides cooling to the pilot; if it stops, watch the pilot start sweating.....

#7 Helicopters are just thousands of parts flying in close formation, ya know. As one who has put in many hours in helicopters.......
