Of course: the bus has a white top and a bus is a symbol of, uh, busing and Ms. Parks; buses ride on black tires, a symbol of oppression.

You need to educate yourself.

How could I miss that. Clear as Swedish vodka.

It would've been much funner if they had dropped it from 20,000 feet and filmed it for posterity.

Not for the Chinook crew. :cool:

I should have been more specific...while the Chinook has a service ceiling of 20,000ft (probably not with a bus sling-loaded), the pilots are going to have to follow some interesting requirements.

The only thing that sucks more than flying on supplemental oxygen in a helo is oxygen prebreathing.

When I was the head government pilot at the Sikorsky factory I qualified as an aircraft commander in the Blackhawk (got to change that name!) and had to learn all the Army stuff...they do not mess around. :D

Found the book in PDF format. 10% in. Nice read.

Found the Magic Bus on Google Earth. If you scan out there's no civilization save a scant few hotels within 15 miles which he had no real way to find, I don't think. Healy was 25 miles away.
