I heard of a 206L in the GoM that had a bellcrank break on the collective leaving it stuck and unable to even autorotate - pilot returned to a runway and slid it on beautifully at 70+ knots and lived.

Owned by SPORE LTD, LLC in Colorado Springs. One report is the dude tried to jump from the plane into a lake rather than make an emergency landing for a gear problem. Huh? ??Another WTF event: almost certainly a federal agency aircraft

Some newer helo pilots had us casting out at 20 knots for 20’ instead of the normal 10 for 10 (also on our cast master of course).
