Awesome landing. I was a Huey mechanic in Alaska. Had a helicopter rip off part of a skid doing running landings. We pulled the whole skid tube assembly off of one helicopter and pulled off the wrecked assembly off of the helicopter while it was hovering. After we took the assembly off, the pilot did a quick fly off to break tension, seeing it fly off with no landing gear was bizarre, he came back and we put the other skid assembly on at a hover, and then he landed it. The 20 minute fuel light came on before we got the landing gear on. We refueled on the pad, we put in 190 gallons in a 208 gallon tank. We got everything done in less than an hour. The pilot took us all out for dinner and beer after work.
Great story...thanks for sharing
