What has any of this got to do with an R44 pancaking?
With the rising feral pig problem in Texas and other states, it is likely we will see far more of these helicopter shooting businesses crop up - all will use the cheapest helicopter they can and many will be owner/operators - I don't suppose this area of aviation is particularly well-regulated in terms of safety so we are probably going to be dissecting more light helo crashes in the future.
The NSW, Australia video Mike linked to, highlights the need for a concerted, co-ordinated cull on a large scale otherwise this problem is going to keep getting worse for all concerned. Is there a State or Federal department that could do this?
Big Mike - from what I have read, these hogs have very thick heads so a head shot might not be the answer.
