Freeride - so you are not SAR then - if you are then say so, if not then stop stirring on a subject you know little about. As usual, those that know little of NVG ops are the quickest to denounce the need for them. You jibe about the big world of professional aviation (intimating that the military was not a part of that) was the one that started any pi**ing contest.
Of course Brintel could do the FI job - if only they were allowed to we would be very happy as the dets are a pain.
