No, I'm not a journo.... and I'm not even German!
Born and raised in US of A!
I only found a discrepancy between the answers I was getting here and in the heli crash thread (which was one of the reasons for starting this thread)... and of course the 2 answers from the "so-called" authorities (one of them a heli examiner!!).
I visited the site today... courtyard about 72 m x 29 m, approach and departure only possible from over the fire truck garages (2 stories high). During daytime, no prob, but at night? oh well, it was an interesting encounter with you guys! And yes, I can understand your support of each other... don't forget, I'm a pilot, too

P.S. and no, I don't "hang out" in JetBlast that much... too much "nonsense" going on there.... but once in a while, when I'm extremely bored, I do admit to seeing what's up... which is then usually a real "downer"
