The reason the jets have been replaced by helicopters is that New Zealand has none. You're probably looking at a third of our air force in this video.
aren't helicopter pilots just jet pilots that didnt score high enough in math courses? just saying, never heard of a helicopter pilot becoming an astronaut...
The name-tag "Muddy" that this NZ pilot Tim Costley is wearing was definitely the guy who went down yesterday in the crash, and he helped to make this video. All of these guys serve in no.3 Squadron RNZAF - the deceased names were, pilot FLIGHT LIEUTENTANT HAYDEN (MUDDY) PETER MADSEN, the co-pilot was FLYING OFFICER DANIEL (Dan) STEPHEN GREGORY, the crewman was CORPORAL BENJAMIN (BEN) ANDREW CARSON.
That is too sad to be true. We heard of that crash over here and our hearts were with the crew and their families... Did at least the one Crewman that was recovered alive finally survive the crash?
The mates of this funny NZ guy just died in a military helicopter crash yesterday. He was most probably flying in the formation of 3 helicopters, in either the first or second chopper when the third smashed into a hill with only one survivor. (ref: New Zealand News -ANZAC chopper crash)
