On Thursday, just as I was starting to teach a student, an Mi-17 (maybe 171) Hip came over quite low directly over the building I was teaching in.

I had my camera, but what do you do when You've just started something like teaching? Say, "Sorry guys, helicopter is more important than you?" 

[Captain Canada]

Say, "Sorry guys, helicopter is more important than you?" 

That's exactly what you do !

Say, "Sorry guys, helicopter is more important than you?" 

Nope,
"Hey kids, lets look at the helicopter. Can anyone identify the type?
Why are helicopters important?"

Make it part of your "lesson plan" (to use N, American educator speak).

"Hey kids, lets look at the helicopter. Can anyone identify the type?

Then some smartass pipes up 'That's an MH-53E Block 30, the ones with the updated engines and the dust filters'.

And you just KNOW he's going to grow up to be a JMN.............

Best to identify him early for termination...

If they can mix up an Mi-17/171 with an MH-53 (or any H-53 for that matter), especially when the Hip has been plying Czech airspace for decades and the H-53 is rarely if ever seen here, then they can send their seeing eye dog to any future classes!

[upnorth]

Of course tomorrow I won't have my camera and, for the first time in the five and a half years I 've been here, the Germans will probably fly one of their CH-53s over the city just to prove me wrong on my previous comment. Spiteful Germans!

No need to terminate, at that age they can be easily converted.

Naahh, that kid would just be embracing their inner geek (like most of us here), the budding JMN
would be the one who corrects the first kid by claiming to see some minute variation that invalidates
the ID. 

[upnorth]

No, my students are adults.

Thursday afternoon, when I saw the Hip, I was teaching an IT guy at an anti virus company.
