My guess is that had he kept his mouth shut and not announced the ease
by which his ego was able to outsmart his brain, the flight evaluation
report might have read something like:

"Pilot misjudged lateral clearance during flight, and blades struck a
tree. Pilot maintained control of the aircraft during emergency landing
and landed the helicopter safely and without injury.

Pilot will be scheduled for 4 hours remedial training and a peripheral
vision test prior to being returned to flight status."

Heck, it might not even have ****ed off the OP!

Loose lips sink ships as they say...

Anyone know the name of this idiot? What happened to him? Is he
still flying on the taxpayer's dime?

Enquiring mines want to know.

I checked with a group of military aviators and got this back from ne
of the Army rotor-heads:

This happened in 1999 at Ft Campbell Ky and was the basis for the
decision of the flight evaluation board to remove the Instructor Pilt
from flight status.
