Far be it for us miserable mud-skippers to dare to stick our filthy noses into the sacred realms of Top Gun territory; how dare we offer our stinking two-penneth worth of guillemot-5hit theory to the golden-wings of such aerial Gigantes.
Some of the culprits on here may have been blessed with the opportunity, skills & knowledge to fly these machines that fascinate all sorts of people (including "care in the community cases" #232) However it is a far greater person that can recognise, communicate instructively & debate with one who's ability's, knowledge levels & opinions differ from their own.
Armchair Ace - the frustration from helicopter professionals trying to discuss a matter which affects all those who ply their trade with these machines sometimes comes to a head when their train of thought is constantly interrupted by those who do not come under the category of the Rotorheads forum as defined as at the top of the forum "A haven for helicopter professionals to discuss the things that affect them".
We are quite happy to explain the ins and out of our trade to those who are not part of it and who have genuine questions but when they pontificate about this accident and call us self styled professionals/experts then I trust you will understand why those who post such comments may receive rather short shrift from us.
