GIBBO: Sorry mate; couldn't disagree more! Regardless of the incident, pressure, circumstances, etc the reckless endangerment of 'other' lives just to get the machine back in the shed and outta sight is totally unacceptable and irresponsible and the PIC in this case needs a swift kick up the freckle!!!
There is absolutely no valid reason for flying a seriously damaged machine anywhere especially after it had already been safely on the ground (short of war that is) and any professional pilot who suggests otherwise needs a quick reality check.
OXI: Thank god someone else saw what I did - I was starting to think I might have dreamed the whole thing!
47DEADBEAT: (name says it all) I think you are sadly mistaken and I have absolutely no idea who you are talking about nor do I have any idea who you might be - might be you condone this type of behaviour?
