I don't mean to be a prick, but that video was the first time I saw the actual injury and it didn't look all that bad. His calm demeanor is laudable, but let's be serious would the outcome be any different with any other pilot? Obviously the reporter was put in a place he wasn't mentally ready to handle, but crews getting shot at in the Helmand province is not really all that unusual.
To be clear I'm not banging on the guy, he did a good job under pressure. But I'd bet if you asked him about it, he'd shrug and say something like: "I did what I had to do, and it's better to be lucky than good." If anything it's a better indication of the quality of aviation professionals the Brits are fielding in the IRT/MERT role.
