A good job done and great outcome. Just wondering what would have happened if they lost control of the plane at that height. Would they have admitted anything or blamed the pilot.

Not starting an argument about his just wondering.

If 'that' had happened it would have come out, flight logs, black box, CPVR etc etc :)

Its all stick & rudder really no matter how big the bird is, i find heli's slightly harder as requires a bit of backward footwork but to me its still impressive manovering
