The book that started me thinking this way is semi-science fiction. And does that.
Since I started this poll, F-84 Sabre (that is about 30 seconds on Google to find out that the Sabre was the F-86).
And now confusing helocast with fast rope or fast rappel for inserting people froma helicopter. And even getting the name wrong, calling it a heliocast. Helio means sun or solar. Helo is as in helicopter.
If you were wondering, Helocast is where the helicopter flies at about 10 feet and the people just jump out into the water. Fast rope is using ropes to slide down, more like using a fireman's pole than a typical rope descent. Fast rappel is a form of rappeling (meaning using a harness) but at VERY high speed. he military tends to do it head first so you can look and even fire on targets as you go down the rope. Again a minute or two on Google would have fixed that.
And not to get into the technical inaccuracies about flying and how to fly.
