50m Vis, only for Rescue

Had the lousy job many a-times hovering up moraines & river flats situated at very extreme altitudes to go save a Life in mist/fog/****e with less than 100metres visibility it sure ain't fun. You better know Yourself, your machine & be damn sure of the terrain with oodles of local knowledge, tons of excess power, or you'll end up a dead fool

Also had to abandon many Rescues as I considered the risk far too dangerous, which (sadly) left the Patient to die better them than me rolling-up in a ball I said
