Danger Flight Safety is no accident; it's good Airmanship

Thanks for your kind censorship Splot...heaven forbid we show a tiny image on a barely visible screen of some truth, to help drive home Airmanship flight-safety

Never ceases to amaze me the growing 'politically correctness' nonsense in our society...naked Men & Women displaying their genitalia at the gay Mardi Gras prancing about is OK, even head-jobs for Kiddies to see in the street is perfectly fine because hey; live & let live it's PC? But show a burned Body from a real wire-strike accident...Oow no that's vulgar can't show that on the Te(lie)vision or on PRUNE, might offend someone might encourage a safer flight attitude should've posted some knaked breasts instead & got a roaring applause


Happy Landings & do everything into wind except piss

VF, it is not ‘political correctness’ but what is acceptable here on Rotorheads.

By your own admission it was an image that ‘was meant to be disturbing’ and was plainly visible. We don’t have genitalia images nor naked breasts here either.

SENIOR PILOT, Why no breasts?? (Genitalia sounds.........medical)

VF - this is the best thread on PPRUNE. However I think SP is correct. Family of the victim and all that!

Keep posting......more beautiful Nepalese Girls please (are we allowed to want such things anymore). The mountains are symbolic breasts and the valleys........eh-umm say no more.

Oh and motorbikes. Oh and food.

Grrr check the TGB oil level will ya

G'day Senior Pilot...sometimes we need a little shock factor to drive safety points home & motivate to fly safer I had zero complaints at the Flight Safety workshop, (ran 4 the same last year & 2 thus far in 2018) only thing Pilots were saying after seeing that, is they are gonna be much more cautious about wires & weather from now on....so the shock factor worked if it saves one wire strike or weather crash; it's worth it

Namaste Rotor Babe....thanks, I know You'd understand as You've lost a friend in Air disasters here! Big thank You for Your support!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoy there Double Bogey.....my sentiments exactly, some fun bags for a jolly distraction never hurt anyone, there's thousands of 'em bobbing about down on Bondi Beach & marching the streets without anyone uttering a sour word I hear you about the Family, I was there, not nice. But it was splashed all over the local media so wasn't the first time it was shown, only in more details, with more pictures & much larger

Yeah, all of that, except less motorbikes and food, and more of the other thing. Much more.

If God had meant us to clamber up mountains He wouldn't have given us the brains to invent helicopters.

Just curious if you have a methanol or nitro injection system etc in your ride to give it a bit of momentary extra oomph at camp 6 etc.
