I also wonder if the guy flying the machine knows that it is timed out.

They then fly them like this until they ball them up or something finally breaks on the poor bird. (It says a great deal about the crashworthiness of the machine that we don't hear about many fatalities.) When the little bird breaks, they abandon it and get another. I guess the outback is littered with the carcasses of old R22's.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-48037882860606754972009-12-08T08:49:12.313-08:002009-12-08T08:49:12.313-08:00Obviously a skilled pilot, but how long do you thi...Obviously a skilled pilot, but how long do you think it will be before he balls it up?Capt.
