Yep spot on. These pilots are the first to help out when the shit goes down, then we bag'em for their supposed bad behaviour. Look at the bigger picture.....

So he did that for free then? Like its not his job, its a hobby?

No idea if he charged for his time or not, I'm sure he could have found better things to do with his time than helping out if he so wished.

I don't think what you have said is correct 223nut.

Take it from someone who is involved in the aviation industry, ANY commercial aircraft is extremely expensive to operate and maintain. There is no way this would have been done without payment.

No-one who owns any machine worth of the order of US$1,000,000 and that cost in the order of $1,000 plus per hour just to operate, without making any income out of it, is going to do this out of some sense of community spirit.

Believe me, when you are talking those sorts of figures, you need to keep the aircraft in the air for as many hours a day as possible because it is not making you any money sitting on the ground.

But perhaps you are right, maybe he would rather have watched the tele or gone fishing than take the opportunity to generate some revenue from his expensive machine.

The fact He's been caught hunting RHA and poaching Deer on private Farms , should mean he has no credibility

Ok I stand corrected on that point
