Senior Pilot
I know much about Nick Lappos and have shown him the respect he has earned in his field of expertise as a high flying test engineer. That does not give him the right to insult me. I have only a little less overall experience than Nick in terms of years albeit in the simple working arena, and have earned my right to an opinion! Or is that unreasonable of me.
I hold to my position that Nick has little experience in the 'workaday' world of helicopter operations at the typical level as his comments over the years reveal this. I did not try to disrespect his professional standing in general.
But His life has been spent in a different arena!
Perhaps grander in many respects, but the proof that infallibility has no favorites, look at the last video...
