I just finished watching it. ****ing chopper is delayed an hour, not for fog or anything normal. Some ****ing half-witted semi-viking Shetlander had left a truck parked on the runway Could only happen to me.
It's actually works out better for me. I would have got into Aberdeen during rush hour and the taxi home would cost about ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆââ¬Â âââ‰â¢ÃÆÃâÃââÃÆââââ¬à ¡ÃâìÃÆââ¬Â¦ÃâáÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¡ÃÆÃââââ¬à ¡ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã30 but should be on dry land for 6:30 now. Although a lot of the guys on the chopper with me are greetin' because it means they can't get flights to Leeds, Norwich and Newcastle. Good enough for the Nigels.
i'm guessing thats the dregs of a chinook which are suprisingly strong, just not when you fly straight into the side of a mountain.
Chinooks are ****ed-up things. they had to stop using them offshore because they were notorious for no landing right in big swells. Although you at least got some leg-room, a cup of tea and it had a toilet on it. Still I'd rather hold a pish in for an hour than be on one of those ****ing death-traps.
i had a flight on one where there were 40 of us and no seats so we were sat in 3 lines with our legs to either side of the guy in front, the last 5 guys didnt have enough room so they had to sit on the ramp when we landed because we were all carrying 120-180lbs no one could stand up and we all ended up kicking **** out of each other. i had a small scrap with two afghan army guys after one of them hit me in the face with the rear end of an rpg. what a cluster **** was also in one that kinda crash landed along with a couple of hard landings where i swear you could feel the airframe flex.
on the first op i did there was a total gang **** when we landed as when we all started shuffling, then running out the back loads fell straight into an irrigation ditch about a quarter of the platoon was piled on top of one and other
