How the hell does any global trashy tv show using helicopter adventure footage better this thread?

Police,Camera,Action etc but all focussed on drunks/kids stealing cars and motorbikes and a slap on the hand from magistrates

The pictures on this thread say it all.

Skilled pilots flying choppers in difficult terrain every day without the bullsh*t.

Keep them pics coming Vertical Freedom.

Total magic

Diversity

From B models on their sides like fish out of water to the 'kit kats', your job is not lacking in variety squire. How long you been there now?

I think I just figured out what VF gets up to when he's stuck up a mountain in IMC... .

Third baby is born onboard a Fishtail Air helicopter

(Probably one too many Kit Kats! )
