"Extraordinary helicopter rescue in the French Alps"

[Barbwire]

This guy knows what he is doing and not afraid to push the limits. I have a good amount of time flying fixed wings but none in rotary wings but I do know that this guy doing the flying has the skills and balls to perform his duty.
WOW, my hat is off to him.

how is this staged? even if staged, which it doesnt appear to be, still great piloting skills. the rotor tips were very close to snow contact there.

Well, somebody filmed it...He wasn't on the bird leaving....

Multiple angles filmed isnt a rescue it's a training exercise.
