Don't try this with Atlas Jay

Shouldn't do it with passengers anyways. When the donkey quits, he can
die alone, no need to take anyone w/ him. Not question of if, but
when?

I'll bet the kid in the left seat had a white-knuckle death grip on the
door frame strap..

Wow.

I can't decide whether that was an awesome display of flying skill,
stupidity -- or both.

Cool video, though!

I've done scud runs myself, but never w/ a pax and always way out in
the boonies.

Well, that certainly looked to be way out in the boonies!

I'd have been crapping myself when he missed those trees by (what looks
like) a few feet. Honestly, I think after surviving that flight I would
probably have punched the pilot out when I got back on the ground.

Doesn't look harry to me at all John, I have done similar on many
occasions with both fixed wings and helos. It is the fact that he's
doing it with pax that bothers me. He has no right to play their
lives. What if the donkey quits?

The Monk

"How the heck did that happen?" would not be a burning question if this
flight had turned ugly.

That's the only thing I've ever wanted to do in a helicopter. (Not
necessarily the mountain stuff but flying through the river bed and
all). Good news is that was shot well enough that now I don't have
to!

Thanks for the link.

I take it you guys are not helicopter pilots. I didn't see anything all
that scary in the video although some of it would have been far too
dangerous in most any airplane for my tastes.

Cheers,
Leonard
