This is what happens when you train at sea level and don't take increased altitude into the equation....

Skiing with Apaches, there's a new one.

Well it's called a 'return to target' apparently, soooo...

I thought it was a pedal turn or something myself.

It's a safe landing if you walk away from it

No, it's a good landing if you can walk away.

It's an excellent landing if you can use the plane / chopper again...

I'd like to see what the chopper looked like when it eventually came to a halt.

Looks like too many pies and not enough seatpost was the root cause.

looks like about 25 secs in someone on the ground is struck by the tail.
