That guy truly is good! I think its Ken Pietsch but not certain. The same guy that flies the Jolly Rancher plane (Interstate Cadet I think) at air shows. He looses and aileron, lands on a moving winnebago, etc. Pretty damn cool!

Here is his web site: http://www.pietschaircraft.com/airshows/

We were excited to heli in Silverton — until we saw the bird. Looking like something your stoner uncle built in the garage out of four Meccano sets, a fish tank, and an AMC Pacer, this helicopter seats a pilot plus two only, making it a tricky vehicle, logistics-wise, when your group has 8 people in it.
