I saw some crazy weather in the 6 months I was in the Falklands, and the FIGAS flew in it all. Watched them take off & land before they got onto the runway at MPA, watched them land at San Carlos when the Sea king was struggling to hold a steady hover in howling winds, some exceptionally good handling skills & great local knowledge make a good combination. I loved the way they shut the engines down while still taxying, and practically booted the passengers out while they were still rolling.
I just wish I had chance to fly with them, never did get a trip
