    ....some of the CG helo drivers are pretty damn good! A CG chopper has been hovering above a CG cutter for about 40 MINUTES!! now; hardly varying altitude ≠5 feet....

    I'm onshore about a half mile away watching this exercise.
    They're sending a sling of some sort up & down.....I'm waiting for the first human guinea pig to go....;)

    But man; 40+ minutes on station over the deck....that's some concentration!
    Or is it auto-hoover?>

    EDIT: 10 minutes later....

    He must have passed the first test; they replaced the cutter with a 28' RIB and had him do a live lift.....

    My $400 2lbs quadcopter can hover by GPS in brisk winds like no tomorrow. Would think that $helicopter$ has more technology.
