Well "Flare Dammit" you have really gone to town here on ****.
Now that you have lambasted him in a public forum and plastered his name all over the planet, it would probably be suitable for you to announce your real name to us and state your history in helo operations and thus qualify your slander of this pilot. That's a slap in the mush for you with a white glove....
For your information this type of flying occurs on a fairly regular basis. Having your blades 6ft off the ground is normal operations for a lot of the industry.
Here is a hypothetical for you: What if this pilot was in the cornfield performing Ag operations (spraying). Now what if this field was in fact 4ft high pine trees and the spraying is done at 2ft off the pines. The same photographer decides to stand up while the aircraft is running down the line and is struck by the helo. Whose fault is it now? Does the change of work mean that the rules change for the pilot?
That photographer was not allowed into that area and had been told so.
