You seem to have mastered scarcasm. Very well done.
Meeting one or two pilots is nothing - be that me or Rene VdH . I suggest meeting dozens, talking to them, watching them and working with them.
Did any of the S92 team fly the line with an offshore operator of heavey helicopters in , say, the last 10 years?
I would very much like to meet AB, especially the next time you do, from what I hear he might not be too amused that you think he's dead!
