From the "what was he thinking?" category:http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wi...world-headlinesRound 2 - Moose 0 - Helicopter 1They tranq'd the moose and then hovered. There is this little thing called collective that they could have put to use. Ate up with dumb; pure dumb.

I'm no helo pilot. Do you mean that the pilot could have used collective to swing the tail around, away from the charging moose?RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case

He means why didn't he use the collective and adjust his hover height to at least an altitude of MooseAntlerHeight + 1......a very good question. Something the helo pilot will indeed be asking himself while he works on his resume.CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile
