he's also a skilled pilot and flies around in his own twin-engine turboprop>> ^oritteropo:

I met him once in the 80s, when he was visiting my neighbour. He demonstrated how to do a wheelie on my farm motorbike... but I never managed it. I suspect that it was easier for someone heavier than I was.
I think they persuaded him to get out his trumpet, too.

saw him play live twice and I booked him in 2007 to play in our concert hall ... great musician, great man

@Shepppard

Firstly, ya got me. I totally didn't click your links.


Secondly, I present a rebuttal:

Whether the Hercules is military owned or not was not my suggestion. And whether a peaceful civilization or not, a form of organized defense is necessary should a time come it is required.

However, the US has misused, nay, abused their power for centuries and I was only poking fun at people who jump the gun to libel the current government. So distinguishing between who might own the vehicle is not really relevant to my attempt at humor.

Can an F-5 even fly as slowly as a twin turboprop?

I tried to find an NTSB accident report for this, but there probably isn't one since it happened in international waters. I did find that this helicopter is for sale if anyone is interested.
