A comment on the Whaley Bridge Toddbrook Dam thread complimenting the flying skills of the Chinook pilot reminded me of this rescue at the start of the year.
It's in the French Alps, 7000ft up with high winds. I won't tell you what happens, it's better just to let you watch and be in awe. I've seen it at least ten times and it never fails to to elicit a genuine WTF?! even though I know what's coming.
It's a long video so I've set it to start just as the star of the show comes into view through the swirling snow.
