that WAS your entire post.
if you were refering to the age of the student, 14 is old enough to be learnign to fly. he just can't earn his cert till he's 18 or solo before he's 16.

No, I was refering to the person in the left seat looking very young and had assumed that person was flying the helo.  I had no idea that the PIC was right-seat in a helo which SD67 responded with after my post...IF you had read the entire thread.

 Flew helicopters for about 20 years, not as a pilot, as an aircrewman. Watching this video reminded me of one incident we had.

 One dark and stormy night(sounds like an opening for a Snoopy novel!) we made a emergency landing at a sports field. No problems just a quick landing. So the next morning we laughing and joking around as we headed out to our aircraft, that is until we saw the aircraft... and the telephone poles 3 to 5 feet from our rotor blades!

 Obviously the pilot in the video got complacent. Just another takeoff.

What did he hit?  I didn't see it, but it certainly surprised me.   :eek:

He hit the building. The camera guy zoomed in where the rotors made contact on the edge of the roof.
