    I was carefully checking those irrigated photos - I was out on a farm at Oringi (greenest farm in the area) yesterday shooting hares, saw of whirly-gyro-mawhatsit!
    Looks like great fun

    Helicopters really only have a hover limit when it comes to wind. Airspeed is a factor but you have VNE as a limit.
    Why you would want to fly in high winds in light Helicopters is beyond me. People get killed all the time because of wind related effects on Helicopters. Wind caused the death of best pilot I was privileged to know.
    Sorry to hijack Dundee but do me a favor and stay away from the friggin things.

    Gotta be nuts to fly in one of those things... My uncle has one and was telling me all about how safe they are. He has only crash landed three times now I think. Safe as houses.
    Looks bloody dry Dundee, here's hoping for some rain.

    Having kids and being around for them is what has changed.

    I would still go out and do venison or some catching in a heartbeat, if it payed the bills. Unless on maybe a doc contract I doubt it will ever again.
    Can't be assed with any other type of flying.
