And which poor helicopter pilot are we setting up for an unexpected writ with this little outburst? "Terrified their horses"? That's a third hand report, and open to any interpretation from "looked up and shook their heads" to "ran around the paddock for a minute". If there was any serious 'terrifying' then they'd be down at the knacker's yard by now, turned into Pal doggy dins after breaking their legs after running into the fence, and there wouldn't be inane questions on PPRuNe from a supposed licenced pilot who should know these things
