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.

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

[Paul Kimber]

Ex military pilot by any chance?

[spunkmyer]

He fly's this type of helicopter BO 105 at demonstration events to sell to army's and was in the german army as a captain

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

[dam74]

Does this guy have his B Certificate?

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

[Janek]

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