I am currently wrapping up in another forum and keep stumbling over stuff:

One of the best German Helo pilots ever (Karl "Charly" Zimmermann, 1986 Freestyle World Champion)

(R.I.P. ? anybody can confirm? Might confuse him with Siegfried "Siggi" Hoffmann, the two worked together at the time of crash):

9/20/89 TUCKERTON, NJ
MBB BO-105 N5353V
1 Fatal
A/C ENTERED SHALLOW CLIMB & STEEP TURN AT LOW ALTITUDE. RECOVERY INITIATED, HELICOPTER STRUCK GROUND BEFORE RECOVERY. NO PRE-EXISTING FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF ENG OR AIRFRAME. MANEUVER MAX BANK 98 DEGREES & MAX ALT 75 FT AGL. RECOVERY NOT INITIATED UNTIL .5 SECONDS PAST APEX OF MANEUVER.

The NTSB determines probable cause of this accident as follows:

THE PILOT'S DELAY IN REMEDIAL ACTION BY DELAYING THE PULL-UP FROM A DESCENDING MANEUVER.

Anyway, here is and old Charly Zimmermann vid where you can see him performing a nice rundown (*NOT* speed increased, perfect flying simply - though practiced 8 times before the actual shoot in ´88). Check out how he starts inverted and the rotor tip height above ground in some parts of the shoot....:

Pretty nice videos there, Rattler!

I usually see Sukhois doing stunts, and not 'choppers lol

Those are very cool.
