So hypothetically, you find yourself being chased by a helicopter

[huff3r]

travel past/through restricted airspace - a gliders club, airport, aerodrome, tall buildings etc.

On the right track I think. Safest bet by far is an active volcano. Especially if Tongariro decided to start spewing a bit of ash.

Or go for a military area, by the time they get through the red tape you could be long gone, if you're lucky.

The other thing choppers don't like is mountainous terrain, at speed.

Or just make sure you have access to an access door in a tunnel, preferably a hidden one
Even better if it's got some beefy underfloor heating, at least 37 degrees worth or more.

Oh and if the Airforce gets involved you are definitely screwed. The NH-90 does 300kph, and has plenty of eyeballs to spot you with, or the Orion could sit at 10,000' on a clear day and watch you pick your nose.

"Eagle to Scumdog, he's too fast down the motorway. We've lost him. What do we do?"

"Scumdog to Eagle, come on Eagle we've been through this. It's KB scenario 4B. Look for a side street with lots of tree cover. He'll be hiding in there. I call it the Superman".


Nice one boys. Now they know all our possible moves.

...pretty sure it was in the original gone in 60 seconds... what, like 1960?

[Metal Doctor]

if i was gettin chased by a copter, i would turn the flux capacitor on, wind it up to 88mph and 1955 here i come!

or jump my bike at said copter, throw the pilot out the window and fly to Maccers for a big mac!

or just accept the fact i'll be sleeping in a cell that night.(probably this one)

[p.dath]

Why?

Were people throwing them at the aircraft?

The "TV News" keeps reporting how pilots have been temporarily blinded by them. Someone even got prosecuted for it recently.

[Swoop]

Apparently small hand held lasers imported from China are dangerous to flying aircraft?

Correct. But any type of laser pointer can be used.
Some stupid indian retard was shining one at the cockpit of planes on final approach to land (and there are cases of this happening all around the country, not just one airport) which can temporarily blind the pilot. Luckily Mr Indian was caught.

A mate has had mirrors shining sunlight into his cockpit. Not good when it is an A340...

A stuipd thing to be doing and CAA actively works to find these individuals and prosecute whenever possible.

On a serious note, I've personally watched 14 minutes of night footage from eagle of a fairly well known Auckland sportsbike rider unknowingly being tracked by the chopper while he's doing a runner.

The thermal imaging is almost impossible to escape. To the point where the cop car brake heat obscures anything else you can see from the car. It's farkin cooooooool footage too.

Would this fine person you are talking about happen to be Mr Lowe ?

[Muppet]

What a stupid thread. Get a life.

[nzmikey]

Not a chance in the world of them doing that. Far too dangerous to road spike a motorcycle.

Yeeeaahhh I dunno aye .... Was talking to a tow truck driver the other night & he seemed to think that they were doing that now ..... I told him to go fuck himself .... he did not seem fazed & kept telling me that they do no .

Cant see it myself .... 150 - 230 kph & hit spikes ? fuck that for a joke

I wonder if he thought they do pit manoeuvre's on bikes too...

If you get chased by a helicopter, dig!
Dig deep, then dig even deeper. Chopper can't follow you there.
Unless you come across a balrog, then you have to go up again or else risk a fiery death.

Use a cloak of invisibility.

[kevfromcoro]

i had a mate being chased by one of those helicopters.. he done a a bit of a job i think
it had a heat sensor in it.
he was on the hoof.. over fences trough gardens,
it was very dark. so he hid in a dog kennel
he got away ok..
just luck Mr doberman wasnt home at the time

[sugilite:Me]

Use a cloak of invisibility.

You mean putting on hi viz fluro gear? Sheer genius!!!

[DEATH_INC.]

Ammatures. You should be long gone before the eagle gets to you. If you can't loose 'em in under a minute you shouldn't be doing runners...

Would this fine person you are talking about happen to be Mr Lowe ?

Unless you're like this guy and didn't know the chopper was after him...
