Lute,

It is far better to be silent and thought a Fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt!

The very essence of helicopter flying and the future of the industry is to find as many uses for the aircraft as possible. This appears to be yet another innovative approach to that.

Why are we inundated with a chorus of voices shouting down others productive use of the aircraft?

As long as the operator, pilot, and engineers (mechanics for you FAA types), exercise sound decision making in the carrying out whatever operation they do....then the industry prospers.

If we applied this "inside the box thinking" so common to the non-North American or from the Down Under crowd....the industry would never progress.

Think back to where we are today...longlines, water buckets, wire stringing, mustering, crop spraying, construction work, EMS, ENG, survey, seismic, the whole myriad of uses we put the aircraft to...all because someone, somewhere, sometime....thought outside the box.

Lute, old lad, I suggest you go back to a quiet corner and re-think your views on the helicopter and the folks that made it what it is. You certainly are not going to be one of them as evidence by your comments.
