Apparently they would be a bit worried if their was none of that grease around the rotor head/blade as it would run out grease if their was none their.

Are their a Couple of seasprites being operated out of woodbourne this week?

You need to spend more quality time with the Russians, Ian... you get cyclic rotor animations too.

One thing that wonder about and something our real life Navy/Air Force boys will be able to answer , why was the 'remove before flight' tags after the rotors have been turning and only minutes before takeoff .
