    That’s some flying! I hope he doesn’t have to buy his drinks
    Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Wow.

    The French have some quite impressive units in both the military and the police.

    It's not politically correct to discuss their units.

    That pilot certainly does have impressive cojones.

    I dunno. I watched the Phoenix PD do an impressive rescue off Camelback mountain in an MD520 Notar. In some gusty swirly winds. Before they built the pad about 2/3 of the way up. Stopped on one skid, offloaded a PJ, on loaded a pax in small basket stretcher. I think some of those folks get a lot of time in those birds and get really skilled about how to move them. Ask the 160SOAR about that.

    These kind of rescues are either spectacularly successful or they can go really bad. Recently, Phoenix was lifting a woman off with a leg injury, and the litter went cyclic, leading to a lawsuit.

    Experienced mountain pilots know there is substantial risk to these kind of operations, and a risk/reward analysis should be made before undertaking this kind of op.
