A French police helicopter traveled 7,000 feet up a windy mountainside, getting inches from the snowy slope, in an effort to rescue an injured skier. Unbelievable flying and skill by the pilot. 👏🚁

6. I happened to meet one of the men who were among the first Army Air Corps helicopter pilots

In chatting with him, I asked how difficult it was to learn to fly the machines. He replied, "It is like learning how to balance on a beach ball in a swimming pool."

That was a gutsy bit of flying, my hat is off to the pilot.
