airea Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Man that Blackhawk pilot has balls made of steel. I have seen such a thing with my own eyes during a rescues mission. It was a foggy and very windy mountain top, where a paraglider pilot had an accident. The rescue pilot held the chopper (it was a cougar I guess) right above the top of the rocky place while the injured pilot was transferred to the chopper. The thing is, the pilot of the chopper did not have balls made of steel, yet she had the necessary skills:)
