I flew Blackhawks for over 20 years. Snow landings and dust landings are very tricky. Little room for error.
I had many hairy flights. Engine failures, emergency landings, tree strikes…it’s a dangerous business. If you have a good crew and remain calm and follow your EP’s and limits…most incidents are survivable.
I aint gonna pump up the accumulator myself, yer gonna spell me off...
Ernie is that you? try not to bounce it off the tarmac...
After watching the video, what the heck were the helo pilots trying to achieve? Who the f*** told them to fly into a crowded ski resort area. Heads should roll on this one..
