Wow, glad everyone is OK! Sounds a lot like a Massad Ayoob adventure from a few years ago where he also was hog hunting and the helo crashed. He crashed into trees and I believe ended up inverted, but he walked away as well. A bit worse for the wear, but survived none-the less. Not something I ever intend to tackle!

Shitty place to try to land. Nice work by the pilot.

HOLY SHIT. That pilot greased that helo onto the ground like he was flying a glider. Fucking impressive.
Whole video was awesome. I would love to do that, all except the crashing part. Thanks for sharing OP!! |

I have only ever met one pilot who landed a Blackhawk with an engine failure and everyone walked away.
I dont know if I would ever get in one of those. I view passenger aircraft as a coffin with wings, youre along for the ride and your life is in someone elses hands. It's almost like that one weekend I went for a glider soar and had fun, the next weekend they had glider crash and the pilot and student were killed. I never went back. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My fear of helicopters isn't irrational! I've been in a helicopter that had big industrial staples holding the windshield together. The fuel gauge also bounced from full to empty about 4 times a second. I asked the pilot how he knew how much fuel he had, he said by how far he flys.  |

Thanks for the video, OP. My son (4) just asked if he could put his car seat in the back of a helicopter. He hasn't seen the ending yet.
A Robinson was at the airport when we drove past the other day and I was explaining how crash-prone they were. So this video is educational, to my kids. Thanks, and glad nobody was hurt. |

It was surreal, after the crash we pulled up and he was still laid back and chill after losing his half a million dollar bird. |
