Hold on here......we're talking about
:
- a squirrel against a land rover
- an old timer against a combat ready instructer who should be used to taking controls at a split second
most probably in an open area...
You telling me that the pilot could not have simply pulled a little power and flown away and gone somewhere else, like most of us would have and not P'd on a locals battery...?
I've been in this situation before when doing training where that 1 out of 10 spot you chose has pissed someone off....
I can understand if he came out guns blazing, but an old slug of a landy...... come on....
that's like throwing a marble down a bowling alley..........
