Yes,
but the approach into a landing site like that, all the time keeping an eye out for FOD both natural and caused by the aircraft, the way the aircraft handles close to buildings causing recirculating air, the pressure of hundreds of people watching and the pressure of the patients life relying on you doing your job correctly, i think he did a sterling job.

Maybe its done all over the world every day, but for 95percent of us it looks awesome. we may have to deal with a tight spot, or a lot of people looking but all of these things put together makes me bow my head in respect to this pilot.

proper crew coordination and coordination with the emergency services on the ground seems to be the key to safely operating these kind of flights.

I can only hope some day to work with individuals of this caliber,


Hats Off.
