There is a former Schreiner pilot and now a CHC pilot who handled a hi-jacking quite nicely while flying for Bristow in Nigeria.....he merely haulled the collective up under his arm and flew away to the Funiwa. Upon his arrival he could not understand what all the finger pointing was about until he realized there was a very much subdued hijacker clinging to the skid. It appeared a fifteen minute flight dangling from the skids 3000 feet above the ocean distracted the villian from his intended exploit.
Now one must consider the pilot's steadfast adherence to a story that begs innocence about "knowingly" taking the hijacker for a ride as being a wee tad unbelievable as he claims nose bleeds routinely restrict his altitude to between 300-500 feet while transporting paying passengers internally.
I suspect the truth is more along the lines of being unable to climb to 10,000 feet in the time it took to fly out to the Funiwa from the beach.
