The pilot's name is Craig Matthews, works for Prism Defence, ex-RAN. Looks like your average suburban dad, totally laid back, nerves of steel! Makes flying a helicopter look like a game.
Don't take no nerves of steel or humongous balls either. All it takes is very good hand eye coindinashun, I mean cordimiushin, cumundidistantun, oh fuk it, you know what I mean, making da hands & eyeholes work together really good, mastery of muscle memory and a very big damned suction cup strapped to your ass. Plus not giving a fuk if you wreck it or not cause it ain't yours helps, long as you don't end up in the agua it's all good.
That's a Military that doesn't DO "Woke" I bet.
ReplyDeleteBeen there done that. Gimme chains and chocks now! CNF
ReplyDeleteNo sign of a beartrap being used. But even with one - yeah that takes stones.

I thought everybody knew 'chopper pilots are all crazy...the only way you're staying aloft is if 1,000 parts don't fail.
ReplyDeleteWhat's more interesting is when they teach you how to crash...on purpose.
