Hello Hands on Dick,
Please don't let your misguided aviation emotions get in the way of your PIC responsibilities when ATC directs somewhere that you think is not appropriate.
"I came down through the Williamtown airspace yesterday afternoon in my helicopter. On board were my wife and three grandchildren – one of whom is under two years old and can’t swim.
As I passed Port Stephens heading south and dropped to 500 feet, it became obvious that there were a number of IFR aircraft heading into Williamtown.
I dreaded what was going to happen"
If you KNOW, as you so often state, that Willie ATC put you out over the water....GET A FLAMING TWIN ENGINE HELICOPTER to keep your loved one safe.
All commercial pilots keep the UNKNOWN FARE PAYING PASSENGERS IN THE BACK, as safe as they would THEIR LOVED ONES.
Get the hint Hands-on-DICK, and get the bloody hell out of everyone else's AVIATION.
You are a bloody menace to normal aviation.
