warbo... maybe taken out of context... what I'm getting at is I see all to many times people getting too busy with stuff inside the cockpit as opposed to what's in front of them.
the reason I say it's more pertinent to slab drivers as most transits are done at higher levels, and once down at the lower levels, still tend to have the same habit patterns as cruising at the higher levels..
agreed, many helicopters have hit wires (probably on of the biggest killers)..
I'm not trying to debate rotary vs plank as I drive both... it's just what I've noticed..
