Guest plumber Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 why he did not land immediately??? That should be prior action right? In the dark over a city sometimes easier said than done. Is there no power lines in Quebec? A guy who claims to own a couple of helicopters should know better than that.

Zazu Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Where the h*** are you going to land immediatly in Edomonton at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over-Talk Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Sling, your comment says more about you as an author than it does about the excellent decision making of the pilot involved. Your brain appears to be making metal, I suspect a failure is imminent. Please land your keyboard immediately!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
