PH 212s

"Ober Greenie from Hell" Al Cox kept the SFENAs at PH working very well during all my time there.

One of their problems was the sensitivity in the YAW channel pickup, which worked to our advantage once. During a mission to retrieve remains of people and parts of a crashed BO-105 of the Police I was circling overhead after having winched Al Biles down into the swamp. (Hero of th day) Every few seconds we would get a small kick in yaw, which disappeared when disengaged. After returning Al could find no fault with the SFENA, so a bit more looking and our engineering team found a cracked longeron in the tailboom. Repaired, no more kick.
