Hope you get better soon Dennis - we could have used you as Shawn spoke a little more than he anticipated! The meeting started off fine in the pad, but we were competing with the wake for the owner's wife who died las week, so we removed to leon's place and popped back and forward for more liquid refreshment
Aside from some interesting war stories, Shawn came up with some new aspects on helicopter performance and best ROC speeds, plus the comparisons between fixed wing and helicopter and how we are always playing catch up.
Probably about 30 people turned up ( I didn't count) and it was a very convivial evening indeed. Kudos to those who appeared and yet again demonstrated a continuing interest in safety at the coal face - as I said last night, you guys will all be future captains of this industry and will hopefully remember some of it to have a positive influence.
cheers till next time
