Chopper down!!!!
 
About 2 weeks ago Jamie Russel was taking pic's of a powerboat event when his chopper went down. I have talked to him after it happened and he in OK. The next time you think pic's are expensive think again! We are just glad Jamie was not hurt and will be back up shooting more great shots.

Don't count on it.

Jamie flew again in Dania Beach at the SBI race and had some "issues". He's told me that he won't be flying in choppers any more. He also went down in Vietnam. Who else do you know that crashed twice in a chopper and lived through it.

I think Jamie will be land based from now on. His next race will be Orange Beach.

We watched one go down right in front of us at the Lake Cumberland Poker Run a few years ago, sank like a rock... luckily everyone got out here as well.
