Why though do non aviation people fail to understand that it can be done with little or no risk ?
Been done for years, flew with a formation of perhaps a dozen helos under the Sydney Harbour Bridge at the opening of the Opera House.
Had a local cropduster of some renown, especially with the aviation authority, who was up before the beak for allegedly flying under a bridge on the local highway that was of very little height above terrain. Couldn't be done says he to the judge, the aircraft wingspan is greater than the distance between the pylons. Charge dismissed, what wasn't said was that it was done by having a great deal of sideslip.
