Mike,

Great fishing but a little compassion on your part - people are so passionate about this because 2 Puma aircrew were killed in Kosovo in 2003 - the BOI found it was partially attributable to a lack of training in whiteout conditions in high mountains.

IIRC this training had been previously carried out but was discontinued due to lack of funds.

So when your mates are splattered across a snowy forest in Kosovo because some bean counter tried to save money it makes you somewhat prickly.

Given your profile I am sure you are au fait with the crash. So please cast your net elsewhere.

GENERAL APPEAL TO CREWS AT 7,18,27,28 OR 33 SQN:

Walk up the street or drive up from Hampshire, find out who this tool is (if he's not using his real name) and give him a damn good shoeing.

Look at his profile, someone must know.

Whether he's just trolling for a bite or just being offensive, its unacceptable that he is in a position to post with more accuracy on matters of real hot/high flying versus simulator time..... yet he/she/it chooses not to.

He talks about wasting money - lets sack the overpaid simulator monkeys!

Are they serving QHIs, retired QHIs employed by MoD, or retired QHIs employed by CAE (the PFI owner/operator of the facility)?

:confused:

Could have sworn that when I checked Mikehegland's profile a few days ago, it was basically blank, now he is ex-rotary with 6500hrs. Maybe he just updated it but.......................






............................. I seem to recall checking his profile last November, and seeing he was a 757 (or maybe 737) bloke with 3000hours. I could be mistaken, does anyone else remember his profile from earlier? Does this man need 'outing', in the nicest possible way of course.

Memory is a fickle thing, but I think he used to mention 747 (400s?) as well - along with an allusion to American Airlines. There was also a great deal of WAFU-"banter" thrown in for good measure.

If you want to achieve a more complete appreciation of his thought processes, you might want to take a look through his contributions to the Mull Chinook-crash sticky thread. I'll keep my opinions to myself.

Ha ha ha ha it all makes sense, i have narrowed it down to a couple of people at MSHATF makes sense now. Mikehegland is someone who has been shat on by the system and is now working in the sim, pissed off at everybody (god forbid) enjoying a real job. Anyway stop wasting tax payers money and get back to work and stop using a perk of your job , the internet.

Nightclubbing? In Switzerland? Has the placed changed that much in the last 30 years? The next thing you'll tell me is that Zurich stays open after ten in the evening. :p

Yep, profile was pretty much blank yesterday

With all of the above comment, the name Walter Mitty springs readily to mind...

Im due at MSHATF in 2 weeks. I will be keeping my eyes open for clues to your identity.

You can run................ :suspect:

Who gives a shieite about this tossa ignore the furqua and he'll lose interest.
