If I could shoot, some cats would have it.
What utter
.
Pilots on deployment carry out orders from the MAOT, the team responsible to see sensible use of SAAF assets (no jokes on that). As the exercise was authorised by an officer, I as a pilot would take them to said water and let them jump!
But alas, things go wrong, some of the crew jumps in to help and gets in s
t. I have seen many guys do worse.
Truly, I cannot understand the verdict, my support to the crew and all other pilots who by trying to help finds themselves a convenient target for the utter incompetence of others (normally high up).
Go guys (chopper crew), at least you are capable of action and coherent thought!
