Geez!
When this thread started and the pics suggested that the hilly terrain caught out the pilot doing stationary pedal turns, it didn't sound so lame as the actual events, once you see the video.
Exactly the same thinking as HR. What the hell is that guy doing????
Hovering close to ground at low speeds going in direction of the nose in controlled fashion is one thing, sweeping sideways so fast so low, ehrm,
it is.
People hurt and killed nearby get affected by this unwise flying. Sad.
With every accident like this, public would lose more and more trust in aviation and helicopter industry in general and I'm not the one to blame them, if they find out more. I'd like to know the experience of the pilot flying, too.
