RIP.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

I guess many on the forum have stories about flying with Dave. I flew with him a dozen times and had some interesting experiences on several. One memorable one was he was going to drop me in yo the back of the Clark in the Haast. Most of the way there he started swearing and cussing and landed on a snowy ridge and got out. The bottom of the helicopter was soaked in engine oil. His son about 16 then, had checked the oil and run the machine up. Dave just walked out and got in and we flew. He didn’t check anything.
His son apparently had forgotten to put the oil filler cap back on and it had pumped who knows how much oil out.
After a few more choice words we flew back to the Haast Highway, landed and he switched it off.
We awaited his son with some fresh oil. You can imagine the reception his son got!
He filled it with oil and we completed the journey!
I would be interested what other stories are out there!
