For the record, 'Outside looking in' you couldn't be further from reality by assuming CHC 'knocked me back'.
FYI, I'm atheist not illiterate!

Not that it's anyones business.
However, there you go again...jumping to self serving (inaccurate) conclusions.
You say "The 139 has a limited ability to respond at night?????....(and)... That's a new one". Are you really that poorly informed or just playing dumb? You must have a very poor line of sight, from where you are claiming to be 'outside looking in'.
You are wasting our time with you poorly informed posts.
If
'outside looking in' you are saying that you or anyone is beyond an incident such as that experienced by the westpac pilot recently, for the sake of your own safety and that of your colleagues, you may want to take a long hard look at yourself or else you too may be face to face with a koala before long.
As for NVG's as good as they are, you are over simplistic (read poorly informed yet again) in your posting. If it was as simple as flicking a switch to 'green' as you claim, they'd be using them tonight.
