Helicopter down in the Gulf for REALZ
Waiting on my flight home today they are saying a bird went down a few minutes ago. They are saying it is at Ship Shoal 208 but I am unable to confirm at this time. My bird gets here in an hour if they haven't grounded flights. Hope all involved are ok and relied on their training to stay alive. Will check in when I get more info or link.

I think it's great! I get tired of the "no linky, you stinky" crowd.

My first helicopter ride offshore was in 1976...fresh out of high school...was buckled in the chopper (changing out of Cameron, LA)...someone more impt showed up and I was bumped...30 min later the chopper went down and all were killed...

...have felt "weird" ever since...

Looking through the news not a single word about this. it happened about 15 miles from where I was yesterday. It came across the emergency channel. You don't play with that, the coast guard is listening all the time for things like that.
