I dont believe that I was sterotyping anyone. I said that I have seen a lot of the ENG guys in Dallas acting in what I consider to be reckless and endangering. I didn't say all....Next time you see them hovering over a scene at 10 knots and 60-70 feet, ask where will they end up if the stove gives out? Most likely right in the middle of the traffic underneath them! I watch more then I used to when I found myself directly under a hovering newscopter that was covering an accident. I estimate his height at 50' and 0 airspeed. He remained over me for about 3 minutes while I prayed that he bought good fuel!
We all want to get the job done! But we also need to remember where we are and what will happen when something goes wrong!
