Isn't Mr Paxton the same chap who "volunteered" to fly Dame Shirley Bassey to Battersea from a pop festival and had it all end close to tears in a school playground?
Most multi-millionaire PPL/H holders I've met (and there's been a few over the years) are not that good as pilots. They rarely plan what they're doing properly. There seems to be an attitude amongst them of "succesful in one area of my life, ergo I can succeed in any area." Rules are for others. And little realisation until too late that few things will let the wind out of your ego slightly faster than it leaves your lungs for the last time than a helicopter flown without respect and forethought.
Tin hat on for in-coming
