Be sure to click the video that shows how he put his chopper in the middle of a boat show event, risking people's lives...then took off, comes back in a truck and tries to pick a fight back in Sept

This Darwin wanna be then put his chopper in the drink a few days ago...all those folks he pissed off our giving the FAA oodles of video evidence and statements to this guys flying behavior.

Pretty sure bet he's going to remain a pedestrian now.

Post by: gofaster on November 12, 2003, 12:05:28 PM: The video is under the link "Choppy Pilot Has Reckless Past" and shows some footage of him bringing his chopper in hot over the water, flaring in front of a sailboat, and setting it down right on the edge of the seawall. I'm surprised he didn't (a) clip a rigging line or mast; (b) fall over the edge of the seawall; or (c) decaptitate a bystander.

I didn't see the whole thing, but what I saw looked interesting.

A misunderstood poet. Men hate him but secretly want to be him, women think they can change him.

A hopeless romantic from an age of adventure long past...

Licenses arent only given to prove the person knows how to fly.

He was just having a little fun, no harm done.

Did you all get to see the whole video? After he landed at the art show (it was at a river-side restaraunt), he got into a fight with one of the people there. The video on the news channel showed the chopper pilot in a head-lock getting pulled onto the ground by an angry patron.

On a related note, a few months ago two guys stole a helicopter from a local airport, flew into the federal prison and escaped with two prisoners.

They crash-landed two miles away, and the police was waiting on the ground.

This was not an outlandish incident here in PR.
