BIFFLE owns a helicopter, and is a rated pilot, so he is farmiliar with emergency procedures. so the fact that he is a pilot, i bet he was not freaked in the least.

We see the Nascar corporate jets flying in and out of Tara Field (Hampton, GA) alot during race weekend at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. I have stood next to Jack Roush's Citation 525, which crashed in Oshkosh, and also next to Biffle's Hawker. The other day, tragedy struck here in Hampton, where two pilots died while testing a Dehavilland DHC-6. The fact that I have seen all three of these planes kinda strikes hard. As I am a teen pilot, it is a reminder that anything can happen, and it doesn't matter who you are.
