They are all OK as the picture below shows.
They were on a hog hunting trip and apparently the engine quit. I would say good piloting skills and God’s hand were instrumental.
Hopefully Gail & Terri will not hurt them too much 🙂
UPDATE: Mas tells what happens in his Blog and plenty pics.
“Too” is what you meant right?
And a good thing they’re fine, and thank God the chopper didn’t result in an even worse situation when we need all the people we can get to stand our ground against the idiots in charge.
Fixed! Thanks 🙂
talk about riding three lightning, glad they’re okay!
“Preflights are for wussies that don’t know their EP’s(Emergency Procedures).”
Glad they’re alright.
Tougher than the helicopter, apparently.
Mas is working on his Chuck Norris reputation.
Mas didn’t like the ride, so he told the helicopter to “straighten up and fly right” or he’d have to hurt it. It dared him.
On does not simply walk..er…fly against Massad Ayoob’s wishes.
[…] For the good graces of God, physics and the pilot they are still here. […]
