You need to educate yourself.

How could I miss that. Clear as Swedish vodka.

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.

From the Aviation Flight Regulations, Army Regulation 95-1:



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.

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.
