Enough !
Like chop I to have followed this story.I have worked alongside both RC and JR on several fire seasons in NSW over the years and both have a serious handle on how to fly that machine in all sorts of conditions.
Sometimes the things simply fail,!!!! happens so build a bridge and get the f%*& over it and rather than waste head space on some sort of witch hunt can the school kids leave the chat,unless you have something constructive to write DON'T BOTHER !.
Can I sence sour grapes here ?.
