Mogwi: Think I am the only UK FJ driver to have done it for real: I Puma with wingtip vortices, one A109A gunship with 30mm and a further (landed) Puma with 30mm, all in the space of a couple of mins. I have also done a fair bit of fighter evasion when I used to fly Wessex. But don't tell my old mother - I told her I played piano in a brothel!

Details in my book "Hostile Skies" or PM me.
Mogwi/Dave, thank you for your great read in "Hostile Skies", I really got a lot out of the book. Superb, will have to pull it off my shelf again (for the upteenth time).

Perhaps from "Hostile Skies" or another read, another piece of advice for the helo driver wanting to avoid the FJ is to avoid flying above water as much as possible. The moving disk over water is much easier to pick out than it is over land.
