#4 pluisjen Sep 30, 2010 7:36:01	Whether or not they are awesome pilots and you would want them on your team kinda depends on what they were doing there and why they survived. If they were douchebagging around with multimillion dollar equipment that didn't belong to them and that could get multiple people (including themselves) killed, I'd rather not have them in any team at all  Also, unless this is a new submarine/helicopter crossbreed I'm guessing this was mostly luck, a bit of skill, and definately not something the engineers intended to be done with the choppers.
