Default Re: Silver State Heli?

I was told they wear "Nomex" in case of fire. I then asked if they have a program to change them when they get oil and stuff on them and all I got was a blank stare.
The whole traffic pattern issue drives me insane. At Spanish I fly the traffic pattern. We basically fly them at the same speed as fixed wing guys so it just works out. However at Salt Lake Muni 2 I fly inside and lower than the fixed wing pattern. With that said it is my responsibility to know where the traffic in the pattern is and collision avoidance falls on me. I do not know what the SSH guys do in Spanish they seem to make their own rules down there, but then again so does UVSC.
