Hmmm, I didn't realise this was a willy waving exercise, #67. Next time I have to divert because of low viz at my primary destination, perhaps I won't, just to prove how macho I am.

Remind me never to use helicopters for personal transport. I mean, we could fly that low in our fixed wings, but we don't, partly because it's not very sensible and gives no margin for error, or obstructions.

Astonished to learn that helis routinely fly that low en route and ignore the MSAs and Grid MORAs or equivalent.

Not really surprising that helicopters hit wires if they fly that low.
