DROPPY COPTER CRACKED

Defending your sidekicks is good stuff MRS and CHOCKY, but I'm not quite sure anyone's attacking them - or that it's so much jealousy as the grass being greener on the other side of the fence, we'd all love to spend our days outside the envelopes, up to our arses in flying hours and uncontrolled airspace - but someone's got to cart the passengers.Īll that's going on here is a bunch of interested people asking questions about what they're not sure of - and getting answers (from people who probably aren't sure about it either) Any discussion about flying helicopters is good discussionĪs for old mates being 'better' or 'natural' I'm not quite sure how you work that out - growing up around cattle and helicopters is a pretty useful start out in life if you are going to, well - muster cattle in helicopters. These boys are having a great time living the dream up there in the territory for sure - they put a show on like that and there's always going to be a few comments and discussions about the flying on a site like this. Some are, and well deserve the title, there are old pilots and there are bold pilots. I wouldn't rush to put all heli muster pilots in the 'irresponsable/reckless flyers basket'. Pilot wise, well they have some of the best pilots I have ever seen, and some of the worst I have ever seen, a few I wouldn't let drive my car let alone fly my chopper and a few who have been life long friends of our family for many many years.

Maybe that's why i'm a slightly cracked egg. well I guess that got me thinking, she prob should be, but I never did, none of the people/kids up here do, you fall off a few times you learn to hang on.That's just how it is in our world. Its pretty easy to shock people who have never lived in this world, I posted a photo a few months ago on here of my little girl out mustering with us, riding her horse, and a certain friend ( u know who you are) commented on the fact she (5 yrs old) wasn't wearing a helmet. In saying that, he is not only is the largest private helicopter company in Oz, but I think hands down would also give more low hour new CPL holders their first start in the industry.

Milton as said above owns NAH, Albatross and a few smaller interests along with Coolibar Station, as Choppermech said, a smart fella, I wouldn't trust him either, but I have my own reasons for that. I can tell you that if you are game and have half an interest in cattle its an experiance not to be missed, many fine people, a few rat bags, plenty of fun, hard work, rum and dust involved. The cattle industry in the NT is a different world, doesn't make it right or wrong but that is how it is up here.

we don't all get to do that ) through out the NT, and a fair wack of North QLD as well. Take it or leave it, but this is how it is, on every station (minus a few choppers here and there and the winching into rivers after croc eggs. Something that has to be pointed out, to those of you who know and have lived and worked up here you will know what I mean. Droppy as always right on, Choppermech also makes very good points.
