What not to do with equipment worth 18 - 20 Million dollars
 

Well...for starters don't fly it like Oberon :timeout:

Fortunately there where no casualties.

I'm trying to find the ultimate face-palm image, but I'm not sure anything can adequately cover it.

Turns out it is a fake. It was just Oberon after all -

Jesus, that guy got a close call to the Apache's tail. :o

This guy?

Yep, I'd be calling him Lucky right now and asking him to buy me a lottery ticket. :yep:

:har::har::har:

Guilty as charged, I was hoping you guys wouldn't find out. :oops:

Bet he had to change his pants after that one!

Strange behaviour of the chopper after it hit the roof. Looked pretty much to be in stable flying condition, made a nice turn around ....and slammed into the ground....I guess I missed something.:06:

Don't think it hit the roof, just the ground after the turn.

Simple case of pilot showing off for ground troops and breaking the aircraft. There should be some kind of fancy name for it... like calling the Oberon move. :D

Looks a lot like the "flying bank vault" maneuver. One of my favs in RoF.

I have pulled moves like that in Black Shark and ARMA, but you need to have a bit more height than he had, plus he turned the wrong way, into his torque rather than using it to turn faster.

Done right it's very handy for a quick turn...done wrong, and...well... :dead:

Show's how well she's built though for both pilot and gunner to survive that.

Ah, here we are, basically a Stall Turn.

Shown here is what the idiot in the Apache ''tried'' to do, a RTT (''Return to Target''):
