Thanks for that clip and explanation G-Man. Guess that you just stepped out in a gentlemanly manner after landing.

Yep, funny thing though one year... had a new kid on the crew, had never flown in a helicopter, he took off in one 9 times before landing in one---all the other times he rappelled out. He is now a District Attorney in Utah.

It is amazing the number of parachutists who have never landed in an aircraft. The very few times I had to land with them on board they were scared stiff.

OK I will go for three.

1. Catch and release, it is too small, throw it back
2. At least the helicopter thinks that it is amusing.
3. The bloody winch line snapped.
