  • Skillful/bonkers pilot

    Quite new to this forum so apologies if you guys have seen this before but it kept me entertained for a minute or two so thought i'd share

    This guy either knows exactly where he's going or he's a complete nutcase.

      I'm not sure... But if he's a nutcase, that's still some amazing flying!!!

              The term "Fly it like you stole it" comes to mind

              What if someone was out walking the dog?

                I've seen this before, but I watch it quite regularly because it's just so amazing!

                As I understand it the pilot was a guy named Karl ("Charlie") Zimmerman.

                Here's some more of his flying:

                  To be honest looks like a very skillfully trained military pilot flying nap of the earth as to avoid enemy radar, aaa or air 2 air

                        Yep thats Charlie Zimmerman, he was considered to be one of the best aerobatic pilots in the world, Unfortunately he is dead now, he died during either a display or practice I cant remember which. Search you tube for

                        BO105 with fatal ending

                        The crash is caught on camera.. I am not posting the video here as its not everyones cup of teat to see a full size heli go in..

                        Cheers

                          apparently it was Siegfried Hermann that died in that crash and not Karl "Charlie" Zimmermann

                            Does this guy have his B Certificate?

                            Bet he can't do that in an inverted backward circuit!!

                              Isn't the pilot now flying with the Red Bull stunt team. . . . the guy sports a huge handlebar moustache ?

                              Why does it always persist down at weekends ?
