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.

I did ask the question at#328,but never got the courtesy of a reply.......

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.

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

The class thing again.

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...

Actually...
(If ever there was a time to stop this thread, now is that time...)

We seem to be making a real meal out of this!

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...

PDR

i woke up this morning in a fog after drinking too much last night.
whats this topic about again?

That's right, you got it, fog and scoffing :rolleyes:
