Real nice piece of flying by the 212 pilot. I think we need more Croatian pilots flying here in the Canadian bush. Dope-on-a-rope attached to the belly hook with a (?)70' longline, working with hand signals, did an amazing job too. I kept expecting the line to snag on the boat and cause catastrophe to everyone. They cut it pretty close.

Didn't look close at the helicopter attachment, but it seemed to go through the hook into the cabin. Couldn't tell if there was a crewman in the back directing the pilot of if he was the one sitting in the left side with the door open.

Should we pass a hat and buy them a hoist?
