Don't worry, noone dies. Maybe he shoulda been banged up a little just to teach him a lesson, I dunno.

The link goes to a Windows Media file. If you have problems running it, maybe try right-clicking on the link, hitting "save as" and saving it to your desktop where you can run it when it downloads. It worked fine for me, I'm just trying to be proactive ;)

This footage has been circulating for a while. A guy named Hog flying a helicopter he just purchased, having never flown a chopper before? I don't think that even Darwin wants this guy. Why is it that the idiots just walk away?

I wonder if that outfit in ZBB could use him?

Looks like he would perfect for their PDM guru.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Ya that one's been around for a couple years now. I often wonder what was going through his head right when he was up top at 40-50 feet spinning around...."MOMMY!!" :shock:

He did book a flight lesson but his instructor was late so it's his instructors fault

Maybe if he got paid more than $8 an hour he'd show up on time :twisted:
