So - commercial helicopter pilots never do anything that could be considered stupid ?
I dunno, Headsethair - you tell me?!?!
I did suffix the post saying that I might have a lot to learn! But I still find it hard to believe that a commercial pilot would risk his/her licence and job for such a stunt. Thankfully, all the pilots I know and have flown with are very professional and safety conscious. Am I lucky? Is this unusual?
As an analogy, there is a stretch near me that is open country road but has a thirty mph limit. It is a totally ridiculous limit; I cannot fathom out why it is there but IT IS there and as my driving licence matters to me, I stick to the limit and don't blatt through at the 60 mph that used to exist on that road.
Quite seriously though I would be interested to know what heli it was and, objectively how dodgy the maneouvre was.
