At what age does one become 'Old and Bold' ?
|
At age 142. Provided that you have a note from both your parents.:ok:
|
But for Dennis, wiil be either 280 or 480 :)
|
... and the between display interview;
|
Nice display Dennis, take care.
Tim:ok: |
I remember watching one of Dennis' displays in a 300 at an LCY open day. I was in my forties at the time, but felt a lot older than 82 by the time I'd finished witnessing it.
|
Just watched Blackhawk Down, and there's Dennis as one of the pilots. What was your job Dennis?

Dennis was the no.2 pilot on set flying an AH-6 in the footage you see in the film. Bob Z? was lead. If you skip straight through to 25:40 in this interview Dennis talks about it and shares two quick stories from the filming. I get the impression he still has a bunch more stories about it. If you enjoy his flying and want to offer anything back - Dennis manages a pilot scholarship in the UK and would welcome any support for that. "So you think you can fly" reality TV series with Dennis as one of the judges... would be awesome! :) |
The Rotary Wing Show has many interviews with PPRuNe Rotorheads; something to while away the hours waiting for the next flight :ok:

Great interview on the BBC this morning Dennis.
Safe flying. |
Do you have a link?
|
I'm not sure how to post a link from my iPad but it is available on the iPlayer by searching for BBC Close Calls Series 3 Episode 7 as shown this morning starting at 11.45.

BBC iPlayer - Close Calls: On Camera - Series 3: Episode 7
Not sure if BBC iPlayer is accessible outside the UK |
Fly 7 - Many thanks for posting the link to prog. - It was interesting watching Dennis Kenyon's 'Close call'

It was a great privilege to fly alongside Dennis in what also turned out to be my last big movie; Black Hawk Down. He's one of the most self-effacing aviators I know, but the best fun was hanging out with him in the background as he commented on the antics of others. "Laconic" doesn't even cover it. We giggled like kids for days and I still have tears of mirth at his one-liners.
Den, it is an inspiration to us all that you've discarded the concept of age. |
