As If 'Normal' Weather Wasn't Enough To Deal With

The normal hazards of weather are plenty enough to deal with in the aviation biz... but sometimes the natural foes we face pale in comparison to some of the 'unnatural' ones. A T-18 SportPlane (file photo, below) found this out the hard way, getting caught in the rotorwash of a passing helo and paid the price for it's unfortunate proximity. So... in addition to all the natural hazards we face, please keep an eye out, ALSO, for the man-made "Gotchas" that may occasionally creep up and catch you unawares.
