How shall I put this.......
Brendan is the last of the pioneering showmen...there that wasn't derogatory now was it?
If he isn't doing his Vietnam run in Otto (Hughes 300 with eye lashes), he's landing his cessna puddle jumper onto the back of a moving truck.
A natural helicopter pilot (not many of those, I would suggest), born in the back of one, I suspect. A genius "poler".
But without a doubt an anachronism of modern day helicopter and display flying.
He once told me that in his 40+ years of flying - he had lost 80+ flying colleagues!!
I'm astounded he's still alive to be honest
