Title: Helicopter Fishing
Post by: curry1 on October 29, 2012, 03:25:17 PM
This here is a good video ya'll.

Basically a badass is flying his helicopter sees an RC P-51 crash so he fishes it out of the trees on his own and gives it to the owners.

That's awesome. I love how he was smoking a cigarette while flying - and every other word was a cuss.  :lol

Seen that vid of yours a while back - I got a good chuckle out of it.

FYI - I've watched a lot of your videos - good stuff.

What was foolish about that?  Seemed pretty awesome to me, and it certainly made someone very happy. (Bet that kid in the vid wants to become a pilot now) :aok

Edit:  If that kid doesnt want to grow up to be a pilot all will not be right in this world.

Right because the stupidity of thinking the line in which ur helicopter is hooked up to while descending will not eventually get into you rotor once you decend to a certain point is the same as this...

He was fine right up until that moron grabbed the cable from under the helicopter... surprised he didn't lose his hand or fingers...

I don't win friends or influence people with my thoughts, but the whole thing could have gone south real fast with those AC guys running up to a chopper with the rotor still spinning like that.   Don't believe me?  We had a case here in Dallas this year where a beautiful young model walked into a spinning prop on her way to thank the pilot for a sight seeing trip.  People sometimes just don't think.  The kid was the only one who looked like he had a healthy concern.

No one got hurt.  I'm glad it worked out.  It did look cool.

That was a plane and someone who was clueless around aircraft. While tragic, you just can't protect them all.

I've been in UH-1N with rescue when I could reach out a grab a tree branch, up in the Saw-tooth Mountains, but they are practicing saving lives, not thrill seaking...  :salute
