Beautiful, skilled piloting.

The A109e LUH's crash rate continues to climb. I wonder if the Italians were thinking about pasta when they built this helicopter.

Beside the blades, I believe all parts are still intact.

I was only kidding about the SU-30. it was to calm down the RSA guys

Anyway some Nigerian delegation in china checking out some su-30

In the name of everything that is good, don't ever do that to Henry, he's suffering enough already

How many have gone down so far? I only remember the incident where some politicians were being ferried to Bayelsa

I doubt it's going back into the air anytime soon.
Or ever again.
Honestly I am just happy for the pilots, very young and lively fellas.

Can I guess, it just fell off the sky... Typically Augusta. Those things fly over my house frequently on route to the south-east Kruger Park, you can imagine my fear of it just falling on our dwellings.

I fvck with you not, if you go on SIPRI it says NAF Aw109 helos came from the south African production line

Actually ditching it in the water was a smart move, it softened the crash for their survival.

Chill dude.........he was making a joke, SA has also lost several A109s

I know, I'm making a separate point.
Until I checked SIPRI I had no idea they were manufactured in SA I thought they all can from Italy.

I might be wrong, but weren't you one of the defenders of this chopper when some of us called it a piece of shite?
Augububug of course always ascribed every SAAF crash to pilot error/technical incompetence just as crashes were reported, sad little creature.

Yes, SAAF crashes are as a result of inadequate pilot training, technical incompetence and forced BEE quota system.

This is the 4 Nigerian A109 crash, 2 from the Navy and this is the 2nd one from the Air Force.

The crashes are not unusual, considering the thousands of sorties they carry out each year.

N/B, I never defended the A109.

Just so I don't fall foul of regs, won't say more...

Can you supply the proof for the above? No obfuscation, no hedging, just facts and sources to help everybody here.

Afrikaans Daily Bleed newspaper. Read the report it made on the A109 crash in Kruger park. I believe it was an Erika Gibson report.

I'm just curious. NOT TRYING TO START A FIGHT. If what you say it true, why aren't our Oryx falling out of the sky at the same rate as the Augusta?

Any possible reason for this? Oryx would be subject to the same lack of training, technical incompetence and BEE.

They are not manufactured in SA only assembled.

Pilot error on the Kruger Park, yes. Now prove the rest of your statement. Remember, everyone is watching.

Bullshit. This is what you said:

You cited one incident of pilot error. Were you excreting as usual?

At least SAAF never crashed a C130 carrying 200+ passengers due to pilot error.

I'm not going to go back and forth with you. You asked for a source, and i provided, including it's writer. Go argue with the source.

I'm done here.

Don't play his game by highlighting Nigeria. The tit-for-tat distraction will allow him to get off the hook. Let everyone here observe his mendacity by asking him to prove this:

Guess he's also going run away from my question. Oh well. At least people can see for themselves what kind of sh1t stirrer Henry is.

I acknowledged your 1 source for 1 incident due to pilot error. Was this statement a lie:

Since you are suffering from dementia, let me juggle your memory. This is your post, not mine. You sought my opinion, and you included an unrelated statement to it.

You sought my answer, and i gave it to you.

So? You could've just answered that you did not defend the Agusta, instead of including gratuitous lies you can't back up.
