Oregon Pilot ... Skills and Inertia

[Phantom]

I know this is not motorcycle related but we have a few F6B owners that are pilots and can appreciate

Picking up Chritsmas trees from the field and loading them on to trucks, Skill and Inertia combined.

WOW....and doing it in the Oregon Mist no less. That guy must be an old Vietnam Vet helo pilot. In and out as fast as possible.

I thought the first shot was just luck.
Then I was just watching for a fireball.
Didn't see that pilot on AxMen program.

Reminds me of my father-in-law, (gold wing rider). Was a chopper pilot in Nam, came home, flew liaison, then helicopter crop dusting and construction, and corporate. I have flown with him many occasions, pilot myself, his touch is like a dance.

Yup, he or she knows how to fly that egg beater!

We worked with film companies making car commercials and one time the director was harnessed to the Huey hanging out the door to get the shot he wanted. All it required was that the pilot fly with the rotor tips a few feet from a rock wall up at Detroit Lake.
I wandered over to his ground support man and asked "Viet Nam?". He nodded and we shared a smile. I heard they could loop and barrel roll those things.

And for those that are not familiar...Detroit Lake is not in Michigan...it is in Oregon.

Aeronautical poetry in motion. And not in an airshow but in the real work day world.
