Very windy day but the Inspire handles it fine. Took off to film some of this rugged headland and some surfers. Was having a grand time until I notice a military (Navy) AS 350BA helo doing some very fast and low coastal flight training. (aka Hot Doggin')
This location is not near any airports and helipads and I was well and truly under my allowed 120m limit (more like 25m). But good airmanship means seeing and avoiding other craft when and where possible. I thought I did okay on this occasion.
I got my big bird out of his way just in time. He didn't see my machine, but I sure saw his. A chopper was the last thing I thought I'd see out there and so damned low and fast. But I guess you always have to be prepared for anything.
I wish I wasn't flying, so I could've enjoyed his Airshow rather than concentrating and getting out of his way.
