Guys,

Can we all just take a second or twelve to let this sink in....?

I mean, seriously.... The barge the chopper is sitting on has 1050 HP...

Thanks. Brad.

i just want to know how fast that chopper barge goes. there is certainly no way that is transported on the road down there so thats gotta be one hell of a ride from wherever he parks it in FL as well.

Its got to be a boring pig to drive that thing even with 1000+ HP.

I can't believe 2 guys are on that thing while the chopper comes/goes. I understand they need guys on the "ground" to secure it/release it but one wrong move and its going to be another Vic Morrow event.

Its got to be dicey for the pilot too, landing a 6mm chopper on a floating barge! Noticed the chopper didn't even have floats!
