I've heard the same Max.
Seems the poor chap misjudged the approach, left it a tad late pulling in the collective, made a hole in the ground and the rest as they say is history. He was unlucky, didn't get away with it and he's learnt a lesson the hard (and expensive) way. I feel sorry for him and hope he's flying again soon.
Can't understand Brother's question "whether any of you would have put your family members in this helicopter with this pilot, knowing and being educated to the fact that the Gazelle, in certain phases, can bite hard." What do you mean "with this pilot"? I don't know anything about him, do you? He made a mistake on this instance. What does that prove?
