We know that we’re a little late to the party on this video, which has over a million views on YouTube but we still had to share it because it rules all. Even our pal Keith Turk, an ace chopper man himself would have to give this guy some major props. To set the scene the pilot is out in his small two seater Robinson R-22 with a guy who appears to be a student in the right hand seat. As the guys are flying around, the pilot notices a small radio controlled plane zipping through the sky. He also notices that there is a small grass runway for use by RC planes and he comments at how he digs the tiny aircraft. Then, moments later he sees that the kid crashes the plane into the top of a tree.
Within a couple of minutes, the pilot has visually locked into the position of the stranded plane and has taken the controls back from the guy we assume is a student. Amazingly, he then maneuvers the copter right into the tree tops and has the other guy reach out and grab the plane! Quickly pulling up out of the trees, he lands in the grass field and gives the plan back to the shocked and overjoyed people that were messing with it. To say that they were appreciative would be an understatement of epic proportions. The pilot is a super bad ass cool southern guy and he’s as pumped up about saving the plane as the guys who got it back.
This guy is awesome and we want to drink beer with him.
