Nail, hammer, head, hit. I've read most of the above links and I'm frankly gobsmacked at the cavalier attitude of ONE pilot

What a twunt .. who was possibly only spared further grief because of the effective lookout and prompt actions of a certain Chinook crew.

I've had an 'airmiss' (100' max seperation from 3 x FJ and very much a brown trousers moment) and they are NOT FUN!!! (No, it wasn't my fault!) so why do these cowboys do this kind of stuff?????? Arrogance? Stupidity? Thinking that the Rules don't apply to them? Answers on a VERY small postcard please
