hi again,
still hot here!!
FD, wasnīt it you who requested to face up and say the real name? Now youīre hiding behind FD! Whatīs that?
In case you come up with some name, make sure to add a way to verify it, because I wouldnīt trust anymore, if you just come up withSOME name!
St.76, calm down! FDīs nothing to do with "American", I am sure there a plenty hotheaded OZīs and NZīs as well. It is never good to point a finger at someones nationality as means to blame for some grunt.........(I know how that feels, being Austrian living in Latin-America......)
FD, just as Sierra-Papa metioned somewhere on this thread, wait for the facts of the investigation, remember justice works slow!
*** did wrong willingly or not, by stupidity or not, ignorance or not. As a pilot he definitely could have prevented this one, but he choose to ignore common sense. If everything checks out to be as it SEEMS to be at the time, he will lose his ticket and most likely a great if not all his fortune. But give it a rest and wait for the verdict.
If there are more incidents and accidents anyone out there knows about and fit the thread, please bring them and lets discuss them!
REMEMBER THIS PLACE SHOULD HELP TO AVOID ANY MORE OF THIS IF POSSIBLE!!
The skydiver-photo-heli accident is already chewed up! We all agreed that it was unecessary, avoidable and totally unprofessional at the pilots part. Luckily non of us was involved (assuming.......hopefully...), so let go on the chap, he will get what he deserves. You canīt hunt down all the idiots in the world, there are to many and you donīt live long enough to catch them all,
!
I still miss some info on the original finger chop! Seriously!!
How did it happen, so it can be avoided at next chance!!
One for the thread:
My own mom would nearly walk into the T/R of a R-44!!
Coming back from a pleasure flight over and thru some rainforest, still amazed by the incredible view - it is hot and humid and she and dad want to get out quick. I tell them to walk away to the side or the front, make sure they got the message. 4 seconds later, mom walks a foot past the T/R !!! When asked, she said: "Oh I saw it [the T/R], I was not going to walk into it..."!!
Mom is a responsible 30-year vet first grade teacher....
Sometimes, disaster or near -disaster is just not avoidable.People get distracted to a degree, that nothing even enters short term memory, not to talk about retention!!
