To BUSHRANGER Bill
Those are pretty strong words old chum. Are you absolutely certain it was a Seahawk??
From what I saw at the race (yes I was there on the ground), the huey hovering and lowering a person on the hoist directly over the track on both days was an exercise in absolute stupidity, considering they were so close to a huge crowd of people on both sides of the track, and also hovering over a group of motorcycle stunt people trying to perform under a Huey downwash, not to mention the numerous tents and TV camermen being blown about. Consider the results if one of those loose bits of debris they were blowing about had re-circulated into the tail rotor, because they were low enough!!
Was the loadmaster doing his job and letting the pilots (who also aren't blind) know that they were causing a great nuisance to the people on the ground??????
