Don't need to click on the links. Saw the original programme. Simply awestruck. I'm a real commercial pilot, not internet but I could only dream of doing what they did.

We are nothing, compared to those heroes.

Yet they would reject our hero worship. They did their duty, no more no less.

I remember back when i was 10 or so (early 80s) my dad and I comming upon an accident on a highway up near where we lived. Dad stopped to give the drivers aid, and the ambulance showed up right after us. Not 10 mins later off in the distance  thud...thud..thud...thud....a nd in she came... Dad grabbed me and we went over to the car. The Medivac pilot landed that chopper right in the middle of a 3 lane highway with the skill that still sticks in my head today. Dad looked at the landing and down at me and said....."Kid, i guarentee you that pilot was a chopper pilot in Vietnam, that was a textbook Hot LZ landing" I Remember it to this day. There was no slow hover it was, you heard the chopper, and boom he was on the ground. Was a feat of airmanship to behold to say the least.

Anybody that thinks they're hard because they are an internet pilot probably needs to go outside for some fresh air.  :lol

 :lol :aok

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.
