There is a valley and wood just like that near my house. I will get the Cub out this afternoon and give it a go. Will let you know the outcome.
Seriously, that is properly insane.
I suspect we will find the outcome in an AAIB report, eventually
There´s another video somewhere with the same type of aircraft that ends in a big fireball. And there´s probably been more of these endings over the years. Not unexpected with this type of flying.
Crazy skills!!!
Almost every Crop Duster pilot can do that. I was a passenger once. Amazing pilots.
Just the average German helicopter pilot, really. Nothing to see here…
Craziest helo pilot. Anyone know who he is/was?
Just the video of this insanity provides a pucker factor.
Reshoot in 4k and this 70’s awesomeness is a theme park ride.
Beat this one by far, except for driving Puma over publuc roads in Chad and taxpayer sponsoring?
The BO105 seems to be camouflaged. That sort of flying might be the safest option for a military pilot in some situations.
I remember seeing this video many ago on some aviation conference as a promo for MBB (now merged into Eurocopter). Expert company pilot at work.. So I guess there won’t be an AAIB report after all, Cobalt Well, the music sort of dates it, as well as the video quality.
Let’s hope and assume that this pilot is now enjoying his retirement, thinks back fondly of such flying and (if still flying) has adapted his style a bit.
