I can see how it could happen. Those guys run those things right on the edge of being an airplane anyway.
in the last pictures its still pretty well intact for how high he got. thats some major pucker factor right there.

Well, the FAA will cite him for low level aerobatics without a waiver. He'll lose his pilot's license over this.
Oh. That's NOT a plane?
Dang.
Sorry.

With the color scheme and lighthouse in the background I thought it was a Coast Guard chopper. My poor brain couldn't figure out what it was seeing until I read the description in the thread. Wow!
