Airwolf: shootez le chopper!

The next time a Frenchman writes one of those letters of condemnation about our island's regime of hunters spare a thought or two for this man.

An 81-year-old Frenchman has been given a one-year suspended jail sentence for firing a hunting rifle at helicopters dropping water on a forest blaze.
