A bad day for this Helo driver...

[Zoomie]

Inch has probably already seen this on the cfpilots.ca website...

Basically this is a mid-air refuelling gone bad...

I think he would have to land sooner than later.

On a scale of 1 to 10, what do you think was his "Pucker Factor"? Better yet was was the pucker factor of the guy next to him?

That looked like fun...or not!

Well it's better than cutting the tail off. Rule numero uno in helo flying : Be smooth, no sudden control inputs!

At least he didn't cut the basket off, not a big concern if you're the last guy fueling, but if you're the first, there may be a few more ADREPs for new underwear as the other guys start to run out of fuel.

One of the more humorous helicopter clips is that one taken from the FLIR of a US OH-Kiowa. The crew observed a young couple wrapped in love's embrace while they were in the backseat of their convertible.

The fly by at the end made me smile.
