No comment, none what so ever, only wonder where our hero is 
"Helicopter destroyed after run-in with cow A cow will live another day after it had a run-in with a helicopter on a property in far north Queensland but the chopper was destroyed.
A man was flying a Robinson R22 Beta mustering helicopter on a Coen cattle station on Sunday when the rails under the aircraft accidentally hooked onto a cow's horns." www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/helicopter-destroyed-after-runin-with-cow-20160919-grjh3l.html |

I worked up on the Cape north of Coen in '89, the cattle up there were pretty wild but I did not think they could take out aircraft. Must say I am impressed. Imagine the conversation that night as all the cows were bedding down. "How was your day, Daisy" ?.........." Oh, not bad, I took a chopper out".  |

Trust me, as someone uses a cast iron budgie to get to work i would rather be on a boat, all that training, HUET etc, if its going down better to put your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye, its all tinfoil
