Glad the crews are OK.

 

[Shakey]

Rotors touched?! Not something I ever want to here if I'm in a helo. At least everyone's ok.

 

[Intruder Driver]

Risky way to get out of some sea time.

(just kidding folks; glad they're fine; they fly over my home near JAX Beach constantly, and we enjoy the sound of freedom)

 

[MasterBates]

Hear that loud sound?

Who would have thought you could hear CAG screaming 600 miles away....

 

[Schnugg]

Helos trading paint, just ain't the same as fighters trading paint...

Glad they got on deck safe.

 

[HercDriver]

Glad to hear everyone is OK, but that is rough.

Landing with an emergency where you can't collect per diem and hang out at the Hooters while homeplate flies you parts.

Rough.

Actually, they landed 2-3 blocks from Hooters. But the guys on the south bank have to cross the Main St. bridge. Easier to just go to River City Brewing Company...

MDR is out on Message Traffic, for those with appropriate access.

Not really sure what the point of flying form close in the day -- especially because it sounds like they might have had a pax or two. Sure that will come out in the SIR.
