Very cool.

I heard about the plane crash. I didn't know about the Huey, the people who restored and crewed it, who were involved. Really great work they did, given the circumstances. My condolences to the people and families that were hurt as a result of the crash. And my respect those those that came to help, as a result.

It must have been quite the sight to see that helicopter coming in and picking people up. Then, flying out to the hospital and landing. Good ending, with the flag in the windscreen.

Awesome piece of work, not only by the crew of the Huey, but by Jeff Lee, Mark Allen and LiveAirShowTV
