Heli pilot are a special kind of crazy.

Wonder why they would go in for a pickup when they already had a sling line ?

That was not a rescue, don’t believe what the media say : It was actually Jean Reno who go this helicopter out of the Chunnel ...

Gendarmerie official interviewed in the French news said it’s actually nothing special , this manoeuvre is part of the standard training for mountain pilots.

Still ...

Hey, since you’re the local expert, a tip for you : a Mirage 2000 crashed today near my cabin (no, for real). Wreckage found, but not the crew of two.  Email me if you want to know more. Sad day.

I mean obviously the first person didn’t have a harness, but I’ve never met a pilot who would skip the chance to yell at someone and save the day by making them put one on..

Expert? You are kind , but I hardly consider myself one. I had not heard about this crash. but   I see now that there is a write up one of the aviation websites I read regularly (but not today!) . Thanks for the tip, and best wishes for the crew. I hope they are okay.
