Flight in TS
When I was a baby helicopter pilot, one of the most loudly voiced dangers one could face was to get caught up in an active thunderstorm. I was shocked to witness an army Apache carrying out general handling (I assume) for about 30 mins during a thunderstorm with lightning, thunder, heavy rain etc, etc [****WELL] Do they not react in the same way as other helicopters in such conditions or were the pilots just foolish?
I suspect that many have stories of being caught out in these conditions, perhaps it would be of interest to hear some.
