My ONLY contention all along has been that if TOT been steeper that day (or chosen a slightly different approach path), perhaps he would not have had a p*ssed-off farmer try to shoot him down with a "missile"...er, cap. That's it, pretty simple. Over and out. QSY. 10-40, good buddy.
But dear Lord, some of you are so insufferable. So many assumptions on such scant information! I have very little respect for any of you lads. As for my "mysterious" identity, 007 has nothing on you lot!
Shy Torque:
PF#1, like Ascend Charlie, I too recall you being banned from this forum once before under a different username, later reappearing cap in hand wearing your new one. A phrase involving the words "leopard" and "spots" comes to mind....
Cap in hand? Not bl**dy likely! You all (including the mods) can kiss my a**. Cap in hand, oh please. You must be mistaking me for someone who cares about being banned from this board (don't any of you have anything serious to do with your lives?).
Sarik:
as an observer to this forum (and someone that does not post much, as you can see), I'd like to give PPF1 his due, he is, if nothing else highly entertaining....And I'm loving this thread...
See? Even a mere PPL "gets it."
Finally, let's go right back to the horse's...er, mouth. I'm speaking of course of TOT, who started this melee.
Ok , thanks everybody for the various points of view, good, BAD and the ugly.
Well I guess the only BAD points of view are the ones that differ with yours, eh? That adult of you. TOT goes on:
I STILL maintain it was a normal approach.
Yes. Normal approach. And that's your trouble, mate. You should've made it a
steep approach, then maybe you wouldn't have had an angry farmer try to throw his cap at you. Do you see that now?
(Self-congratulatory wanking snipped) Just one thing, I am still NOT convinced Prune Fan I is a chopper pilot., come on PF1, I was NOT flying a R22, what WAS I flying that day?? I have told you the VNE (75 Kts). IF you are an EXPERT then I challenge you to tell me!!!
Well I never said you were in a Robbo...I think it was Shy of Torque or Thomas decoupling who leapt to that assumption. I assumed you were in a B47 or a B2B, but did not speculate because it did not matter and I do not care.
Oh, and
real helicopter pilots do NOT refer to them as "choppers," which tells us all we need to know about TOT.
**** on, lads! (WINK! That word is "wink" I tell you! We just pronounce it differentlly here in SoCal. Why did you edit it??)
