Wouldn't you be coughping yourself if you also knew you didn't have enough fuel to make it back to land... I love the guy standing casually against the wall in the background as if this is normal

Never been on one, never want to. After seeing this forget it. If Careflight ever need to take me away forget it, I'll walk.....

Remember, the only reason that helicopters can fly is because they are so ugly that the earth repels them :mrgreen:

Interesting video.

Fortunately the few times I've been in a helicopter the weather has been significantly more stable and I think I'll keep it that way for any future flights

Hmm, Off to my barge in Bass Strait by Super Puma taxi on Friday.
As a retired Hang Glider and Paraglider pilot I have yet to come across landings scarier than some of the ones I did
