There is a story to go with this trip which I will get to soon @veitnamcam @Kiwi Greg .Its a little long but the end is the bit that shows the start of our tail wipping to the right as we get blown down into the manson creek I fucking loved the ride as I love being in choppers.Chris Cross is the bloody man.

    You are a regular Peter Jackson Neckshot.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
