A story with one BIG difference! The As365 pitcher is a good guy because he has still reference to ground!
Flying to high and get IMC brings you much more trouble.......

but we will never know what this guy had reference to will we? he wont be able to tell us through a secret squirrel club member any of the details.
Nor do we know for 100% certainty if the 365 driver maintained visual with the ground at all times.

I suspect that the airport calling better weather than he was in, was a huge factor to press on. Ended badly.

Sorry....no Fog....but certainly operating close to people and vehicles.

Those who have their Knickers in a wad over a helicopter flying beside a Roadway....which creates a real risk?

Well, that's a tricky one. Due to the Army allowing Sergeant Pilots, they might have been having Dinner or Tea, rather than Lunch if they were Commissioned Officers.

Doesn't tea require cupholders? No wonder the EU didn't work

I might be missing something, but I'm not quite sure what your point is.

Yes of course it is, but I just wondered how he could explain it. I guess he can't or won't.

Cupholders??

Officers require saucers to put their cucumber sandwiches on while they sip the tea. Leaf tea, none of that American teabag rubbish, don'tcha know...

I think what he means is the lower classes have “ dinner “ and the officers have “ lunch” .......
for officers dinner is around 8pm not 1pm !

Officers have Luncheon - they serve lunch in the sergent's mess.

But the pilots of this particular helicopter must eat in the Jedi Refectory, given that they seem to navigate using The Force...
