    This is the first such incident of a Jet Ranger/Long Ranger coming apart like this in 7 million fleet hours, so something is very odd.
    BTW, I left a zero off, it is 70 million hours not 7.

    It is a boat crash, not an airplane, but it might as well of been a plane.

    The folks in the helicopter are lucky they weren’t in that boat’s flight path.

    That helicopter came in for fuel just as we were about to depart. We headed north, away from the lake, as we wanted to avoid all the boat and helicopter traffic.

    Apparently everyone was OK, just from what I read somewhere, and that maybe some of the shootout boats were flirting with 200mph?
    This is one of those things I used to think is the coolest thing ever, and the older me thinks is cool, but maybe a reckless stunt. Trying to float as much of the boat in the air as possible while not floating too much of the boat out of the water while thousands of horsepower are pushing it up and over from the rear, what could possible go wrong?

    All the potential trauma from a superspeedway crash, plus the potential for drowning!

    Pretty sure that black spot is a hatch, on the bottom of the boat, in case it lands upside down...
