    Now that's a hell of a pilot. Not only is a very tight spot to land in with more hazards than you can count, but what about the massive ground effect in between the buildings, wow!

    The take off in the second video is just as impressive. Hats off to these guys.

    Cheers,

      Do real helis have any sensors or aids to help them land in such a tight spot? Awesome work. Beggars belief why the heli service is funded mainly by charity.

        I think the landing aids are called other crew members!
        You can teach a man everything. Apart from experience.

          Amazing job, the only thing disappointing is that they should not have to rely on sponsors (virgin) for funding, come on government fund vital and important services like that properly!
          Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

              That explains why the Air Ambulance trusts go for the top military heli pilots.

              Tough job, need to calm and collected.

                Incredible flying indeed. I'd be interested to know what aids the pilot has to land with such precision. Definitely no Disco Leg that's for sure.

                  Not sure if these smaller helicopter have any sort of aids. But i think the larger SAR helicopters up here in shetland have a sort of 3-way autopilot that can pretty much lock them in postion at a stated altitude.
