jak Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Raced on that runway many times, used to ride that area a lot back in the old days. Never saw a helicopter though, I don't think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSHM Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Wow..Sledders have run into many things, but he may be the only one in the world that can say he t-boned a Black Hawk. I'm sure he would rather be saying he almost hit one.I hope he has a speedy and complete recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Chopper was in stealth mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teet F8SP Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Camouflage color works good! He probably never saw it especially if it was almost dark! The flight crew are probably sitting inside the chopper on their phones when it happened not realizing they were even parked on a marked groomed trail with no lights on? How else could you not see a Big ass chopper? Wonder what the bill was for the expedited part delivery and the bush fix on the Black Hawk wing? That guy has a helicopter flight of his own to pay for and now a helicopter repair bill also, ouch! Hope he is ok at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti62 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 He’s out of the hospital now chest injury and a little head trauma!!! He is a lawyer so I’m sure he will get what is owed to him!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsleds Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 How can a sled trail be going through an active helicopter LZ? Seems like sonoe's got some 'xplainin' to do Lucy. Poor guy, I mean WTF, your riding and all of a sudden there's a Black Hawk on the trail??? Of all the things I've heard and seen sledding this might be the top one....

smclelan Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I was thinking the same thing. Why would they land a helicopter on a known trail that is shared with the airport. Could be a bad situation, unfortunately it will like end up causing the closure of that trail. Snowmobilers loose again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 LOL, It was not us!! Neither on the sled or in the chopper. We shot it down with homemade Potato Guns and a can of AquaNet! Good Times! GutZ PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
