67november Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I have to agree with some of you that the ground contact was not intentional. :down: I'd say the landing gear took one h*ll of a beating on that stupid stunt, and that no one was hurt was a very good thing, I think the pilot was lucky that he didn't bury a skid a contact.

justfly Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 :shock: If you ever get a chance to buy or fly or ride in a certain 206B III, Austrian registration OE-XKH (previously N3189T & D-HHTC), cn 3814... picture 1 picture 2 picture 3 ...or fly with skyLINER Helicopters in Austria http://www.skyliner.at/ ....you may want to give it CAREFUL consideration! :down: I believe the saying is, metal remembers?

Skidmark Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 Well Beltdrive, thank you. I guess i owe you a beer if we ever cross paths. Your video helped me get a bunch of idiots off my back here in camp. They've been bugging me all week for a hammerhead. The video seemed to shut them up. Take care SM Quote

justfly Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 ...a bunch of idiots ...here in camp. They've been bugging me all week for a hammerhead.... Hey Skidmark, you could always remind them of those famous LAST words heard in aircraft around the world, "Watch this!..." :shock: Quote
Skidmark Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I thought the last words were, Oh Sh*t. Quote
justfly Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I believe those are the words that complete the last sentence. Quote
Toni Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 Hi there! don't you do a hammer head into the wind?so on your way back you are gona be downwind, right?anyway he should have had more altitude and of corse not with pasangers on board!! :down: Quote

Skidz Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 I think that with most operators, doing hammerheads upwind or downwind is equally likely to have a negative impact on your career... Quote
