Ha! Fun to watch, but that ain't a fair fight.
Greg Olsen posted a speed of 183 in that boat at this year's ShootOut.
Those R44's are nimble enough, but max out around 110.
And that's with one skinny video guy and a pilot.
I know that when my big azz is in one, regardless of the size of the videographer,
the thing barely hits triple digits.
Just sayin'...

Until someone starts flying a Blackhawk for photos (now that would be a sight), the fast boats will continue to beat the helicopters.
