Too close? Too small?

No experienced rotorcraft pilot would even consider flying UNDER wires,

Not true... I've never done it because its never come up But....
If you had a big wind direct across high tension wires coming
out of a confined area it could in fact be safer to go under them.
Hover taxing under wires 75 feet above you could be a buttload
safer than pulling 99% straight up 120 feet to go over them.

Kinda noticed you said "licensed private pilot" but not rotorcraft.
Not all the sage wisdom from Stuckwing land applies in Choppertown.
And before you rip on me too, I own and fly both kinds.
too.

Hee hee hee... You noticed that too.

BUT BART - He does claim to have owned two helicopters.

My license is in Rotorcraft. This IS a rotorcraft forum isn't it??? How
much dumber can we get?
And I have not one hour in fixed wing, FYI.

I have owned 2 R22's.
Sorry if that makes others here jealous.

Mr Potatohead you are delusional.

Sorry to see your attitude contra the group and their views. Seems like
you really stepped on your dick. I was willing to trade off some good
info but you blew it off calling me a liar and never took time to see
that I was having some fun. I am who I say I am, can do what I say I
can, have done what I said I did, and left out a lot of stuff that
would probably make your hair fall out.
From your posts, you have a limited amount of experience in the R-22's,
have a greatly exaggerated sense of accomplishment, and are a pompous
clown. You also have a limited vocabulary and resort to profanity when
good english fails you.
I suspect you will take umbrage and not come back after the roasting
you have been given here by people who, for the most part, are
interesting, knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and quick to take apart
anyone who brashly jumps in and makes snap decisions based on little or
no information.
I'd be happy to see any response in a coherent manner and challenge you
to do so.
Cheers
Rocky
ps: how many flying hours DO you have? Doing what?

This is hillarious. Are you all yankees? Used to cussing each other out
one minute and french kissing the next?? You want me to now respond
after you used profanity towards ME? I never once accosted you here
other than to doubt or question your flippant attitude. (Which I still
do) Oh by the way, I am not the one ag flying for 50 grand a year here,
so don't talk about my limited vocab, dude. If all you make is 50 grand
YOU are the limited one.
Now please go back to your tales of blade strikes and bravado and bask
in the attention you garner from the saps here.
Best wishes.

No potatohead... It is actually a very sad reflection
that this is the absolute best you are capable of.

Keep it up as long as you want Mark.

Every time someone opens their mouth in a group like this, the people
reading the posts get to make a value judgement on the person making
the comments.

That means that every time YOU open your mouth in this group everyone
reading your drivel makes a value judgement on YOU.

Your only response to those with obviously much more experience in life
and aviation is to stamp your feet in exasperation, and your trivial
and childish responses clearly show that to the group.

It must really torque your cookies to be sitting at your computer
reading the comments made by those with more experience and realize
that their efforts are actually appreciated and read with some interest
while the comments that you keep making are also read by the group and
dismissed as childish and laughable.

As I have stated a few times already Mark... Your decision to come in
through the back door and act like a potatohead was a decision you made
all on your own.

Stamping your feet in blind rage and frustration will not negate that
fact today tomorrow or ever.

Keep it up as long as you want.

That's the beauty of usenet potatohead, you can be as stupid, obnoxious,
and childish as you want.

It won't get you respect or the admiration of the group and over a
period of time some will just kill filter you, or totally ignore you as
the majority in this group are doing, or hold you up to the light of
day as I have been doing and show you up for the buffoon you really
are.

And one day when you finally realize that nobody likes you or wants you
around, that they realize you have nothing to add to this group but
garbage and they could care less about you and your lousy attitude,
well
on that day Mark you will finally fade away into obscurity which is
exactly the road you are on right now.
