Flare Dammit!
Stick to your guns...........
The silent majority has to be with you.......sorry Blender you may have started something, but that doesn't mean you have to take responsibility for anything that develops...you did'nt fly the aircraft.
Interesting to note that the PIC has, No Helmet, Short Sleeves, and short pants......smart work.
In all the low level stuff mentioned eariler, certainly the crews wear that gear as standard.....never leave home without it...!!!!
Yes I agree that Parachute Folk are different.......and they certainly are...and they will try to cover up the sins of their own ignorance......they actively encouraged this guy, who seems to have accomodatated their wishes......which is now proven to be not smart.
Lets hope that this poor guy did'nt get killed for nothing and something stops this situation from happening again.....[I know one way].......and yes if the entire industry does'nt control itself, some pencil pusher will......and thats bad.
Lets never confuse, ag or mustering crews with this type of "Thrill" ride........ag and mustering crews have a special licence for their skills, and DON'T carry fare paying passengers..!!!!
