Situational Awareness

I ran across this video a while ago when looking for some information on a sailing topic....and although it has nothing to do with helicopters....I do feel it is worth viewing in light of our need to maintain Situational Awareness while operating our aircraft.

A lesson can learned from this video in that regard....perhaps some of us might post what they see as being applicable teaching points.

That'll learn him for being a kite surfer. Windsurfing's where it's at. If I was the 777 driver, I would have lined him up too.
