I think in summary, I would like to say that maybe this pilot/reporter can be done safely. Just not by me.
Oh, I could NOT have said that better myself. In fact I was going to - but I'm a low hour pilot and it kind of goes without saying; but I'm sure I'd feel exactly the same with a few thousand hours under my belt.
I'm a photography pilot, and am continually amazed by the amount of f
wits who ask "so, do you lean out the door to take the pictures AND fly the plane?"
Perhaps now I'm beginning to realise that
these people aren't so stupid... just the people who are setting the examples?!
