Mama,
I had no wish to offend anyone and so have edited the part of my post that you found offensive. I hope that this might change your decision to cease contributing here as I value your experience and opinions as a working pilot in Nigeria.
I do feel, however, that you were unfair in taking those few words in my post in isolation and not as a whole as I was certainly not condoning the targeting of civilian helicopters.
In a previous life I discovered a 7.62mm sized hole in the tailboom of my machine and remember feeling shocked, scared, then angry to think that someone had tried to kill me. Wise words from my OC put things in persepective -"Don't think of it as personal - you are simply a symbol of something that they disagree with".
