pearl of wisdom
A pearl of wisdom from one of my colleagues (who is very fixed wing biased)when recounting a story of a modification that was carried out on the Queens flight HS125s. .. ."Before we could return the aircraft to service, a special sniffer dog was flown up on a Queens flight jet up to check the modified aircraft for explosives. On one occasion due to unavailabilty of a 125, the dog was flown up by a Wessex. Unfortunately the ordeal of flying by helicopter ensured the shaking S*&t scared dog couldn't find his own tail never mind a trace of explosive (they always used a test piece).". .The next bit is his quote, 'If a stupid F^%&*n dog whose job is looking for dangerous explosives thinks helicopters are unsafe, how far up the evolutionary scale does that put helicopter pilots???' . .. .Any suitable put-downs against 'plank' fliers would be appreciated!!!!
