    That is amazing skill.

    There is footage around of winching people off a yacht during a very rough Sydney to Hobart,that is amazing as well,and a lot more dangerous.

    The Fleet Air Arm are a breed apart. In any Navy. However I remember the USN pilots were not keen on landing on Melbourne, they said it was like landing on a postage stamp. One of the best I saw was a RNZN Wasp pilot during a helo transfer in very rough weather, he must have used our Tartar missile launcher as a reference point, [ it was placed horizontal to the deck, east west], I swear he had his wheel that close to it must have been touching. Didn't miss a beat.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
