He keeps making me think of the ATC on Airplane who was screaming "Auntie Em, Auntie Em!" for some reason....

Where was the president when this happened? Why didn't he prevent it?

I really don't think the Coast Guard spokesman (on Fox right now) should be specifying specifically, the numbers (percentages) of entire Coast Guard helicopters are now in action in the Gulf Coast area. The percentage was shocking. The terrorists watch TV too. I hope our harbors and ports are not vulnerable.

Looks like a plain old badly executed auto-rotation.

LoL. I've never experienced anything quite that exciting. The closest I've come to living dangerously is jumping on elevators. (shaking head)

Picture of life in "The Big Easy." Where it ain't so big anymore...it ain't so easy...and there ain't life.

Apology to the spelling police...but worked better with "ain't."

I saw that even if a helicopter loses all power, several hundred feet in the air, it can land somewhat safely. The rotor acts to slow the descent.

Well, Dick, I guess your easily pleased by an obvious knock off of a tired old joke submitted for that very reason. BTW, are you a Troll?

Good evening.

There are few things as much fun as going 90 mph at treetop level with your feet hanging out. When the bird goes into short final you get out on the skid and jump at about 10 feet off the ground as the bird drops it's nose and scoots away while you run for the treeline.

As you say, tet68, quite exciting.

I saw film of one young lady who was plucked off of a roof look around the chopper with a big grin on her face. She looked like she was loving the experience. Of course that might have been because she knew she was going to survive
