    Bummer, some of those chopper jockeys can be a little too sure of themselves.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    I know absolutely nothing about flying choppers, but it didn't look like a great place to be flying one to me.
