Good post. Actually, which has been proven many times, a Sioux can take a Puma landing beside it as long as the Sioux is under control.
This thread has a lot of people justifying why they leave the heli turning and burning to do something else. I have no experience in their particular operations so I am not prepared to argue, as opposed to some arnchair warriors who know nothing about it. In my facet I do things that other disciplines would regard as suicidal, but I do it, again and again.
How many people have walked into the rotor of a heli running unaccompanied? Not a lot, and those who have should have know better. Should it work for operations where it is neccessary then let it be. There are horses for courses, just accept that and let sleeping dogs lie.
