Do they ever get hit?
ive had a chopper come within meters in wanaka nz and a jet ..... ill say meters but probably further more like 10 or 20 meters below me once at rainbow beach. the jets are allways ****ing us over at rainbow because they like using its natural curve to practice some manouvering, cant remember the specifics of it but some jet pilot was explaining it to us one day when we asked him why. we had some idiot try complain about it hahahaha thankfully everyone convinced him to keep his mouth shut. itd take the airforce a minute to just shutdown our flying of rainbow and di point permanently so that we would no longer have to worry about this problem :P
skill wise tho with the exception of a wedgie those kiwi chopper pilots that do the dusting etc are unbelieveable. make those tigermoth aerobatic flights look tame, seen them doing all sorts crazy **** when they think noones watching
skip to 2:45 watch as the pg literally appears out of no where. my wing has no colours on it so im practicly allways invisible. bit of a worry.
