LOL at some of the comments to that.

 

Germany for sure - it certainly isn't a British Army or RAF pilot with skills like that. ;)

 

I was gonna say actually army scare corp or a couple of the RAF chinook pilots I know. Most aren't that reckless though to be fair. You've never lived til you've been in a chinook under the firth of forth bridge or done a tactical night flight into sarajevo :D

Done quite a few area search flights in NI back in '77.

Sitting on the edge of the chopper, feet on the skids while the pilot criss-crosses an area.

One minute you're looking at the sky, next at the ground.

All that's holding you in is a bungee across your chest and momentum. :blink:

 

That and a few tactical night flights into scary areas in the same theatre.

 

 

That's plenty for me thanks. ;)
