can someone please tell the Chinook guys that Low Flying with passengers is not only dangerous but against the rules.
Couple of things Southside.

First off I thought the whole point of helo low flying was to get pax to somewhere where they can do their thing. If the first time said troops low fly is on a live op and they get airsick then they aren't going to be very combat effective. Therefore low flying with pax in this country is worthwhile as it gives the lads a chance to get used to what is a weird sensation as a pax.

Secondly whom were you refering to as pax? If it was cadets etc then I agree there is no need to do it
