Well - was it last year or so a Danish PPL pilot chased a Kindergarten class that were on his property with his R44 - the teachers from the Kindergarten had tried to go to the house/Mansion and ask if they could play on his big grassfield in the other end near a road, but no one was home to ask and they started to play there anyway, being on a daytrip - then Mr. X came home in his R44 and got pissed, starting chasing them out with the R44 - you know, mustering kids you could say ..
Funny enough, the same guy that landed a Citation Jet (OY-JET) in fairly strong downwind in USA on a small airstrip were no jet's are allowed according to the plate and splashed into the sea - ohh, I believe he was on an IFR flight, but he is not IR rated to my believe. The NTSB report should show that ..
I believe he still got his certificates - so those people exist all over the world, sadly enough ..
But he has humor, his new jet is called OY-WET
..

There is a great video of this accident, someguy filmed how he made the approach, ran off the runway, and he kept filming while everyone got out and one of the airplanes engines kept running and went to full power pushing the aircraft thru the water. fun 2 watch.

What I understand, no he still got his licenses ..
NTSB report: http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/GenPDF.asp?...05LA085&rpt=fa
Isn't it interesting to read the following:
- Wind direction + speed: 280 / 09kts
- Runway: 11
- Type of Flight Plan filed: IFR
- Type of Clearance: IFR
- Instrument Rating: None (uupsy)
- First pilot: 1
- Second pilot: 0
- Passengers: 3
- Total onboard: 4
I will try to see if I can find the picture taken by one of the adults from the Kindergarten class, where he muster the kids - maybe when I get my labtop back from maintenance I can find it ..
Ohh, and then there where the island Hesselø he bought and changed without permission because it's like a natural reservat (made a harbor and a new runway). Can't change it without approval from the authorities.
Obviously he has a problem with authorities ..
He now has to rebuild the island to it's former condition ..
And then there are the other stories you hear about how he doesn't give a ****e about airtraffic control and the procedures how to behave in an airport. But I have no prove of that, just word of mouth, so let it be by that ..
Well - I guess when you are rich and know people, some at least believe they are entitled to do what they want ..
Notice: His company (Weibel Scientific) develops and manufactures advanced radar equipment, like for the military ..
- madman
Correction: it's a 1st grade class - then all facts should be in order ..

Ohh - I found the picture ..

Notice that you can see the top of the grey cover for the popout floats clearly. That should only be possible because he is certainly not flaring to decrease speed, neither is he in a hover (the R44 should be but-heavy with only 2 people on board), but instead he is at a certain forward airspeed ..
Of course there have been given reports from the people on the ground to the Danish CAA by those he mustered of his property. They are public if you ask them for it - in Danish ..
Two reports from the group playing ball, that are public, describe the situation with (freely translated): "The helicopter flew over kids and adults with only 8-10 feet" - "in an agressiv way, swinging/tilting the rotorblades over us to get us away" - "the flying happened only few meters from highvolt wires" ..
Conclusion: Idiots excist all over the world ..

What was the outcome of the idiot in the R44? Did the authorities bounce him? Surely he could have been done for breaking his MSC?
One of the only times I'd love to see a wire strike. Prick.
