More look you win some you lose some and I'm not going to beat myself up over That because I did a pre-flight and I Don't know what happened I don't I know Some guys uh at least yours isn't stuck On the hill that's right yeah and we Bring it all back there's the other rail I still am grateful to God for today It's a beautiful day I got to have a fun Helicopter flight which will be coming To the channel somewhat soon I'm sure And uh part of the reason of doing this Video too I think there's still an Airplane sale going on I don't know if This one is on that sale but there's a Lot of things on sale anyway I'm just Grateful to God for today uh despite a Crash crashes are going to happen and This has sat for a long time so maybe That has something to do with it I don't Know uh but because crashes happened I'm Going to strongly recommend you fly with Ama if I would have been 50 more feet Down I don't know something like that I Could have hit that guy's truck and People say I don't think he would mind Nah at this point I think you're right But if it would have bust this is a Heavy plane and if it would have busted His window or something sure you know It's just a stuck truck he still wants His truck out without a busted window so And that's recent I don't know what's Going on with that um I'm glad I have
Ama you just never know sometimes it's Dumb thumbs sometimes it's who knows What happened but that that's what Happened in this case so AMA is linked Down there too I know I said a big Thanks to God I just want to remind Everybody that even though this crash Happened and it's one of my most Expensive crashes ever for airplanes I'm Still overall pretty happy pretty happy Guy and uh don't get me wrong I'm very Sad about this but you know Life's too Short to get too beat up over it so Thank you God for reminding me that There's more to look forward to in life Last certainly not least I want to say a Massive thanks to our patreon supporters I don't know which direction I'm going To go with this I kind of want to try to Piece it together I kind of feel like I Could I really do so you might be buying The hot glue for me to get this thing Back in the air if I do you'll see it um If not this might have been saying That's the plane you needed to get rid Of and you should have done it before You flew I don't but I would have felt Horrible if I sold this and someone had That experience so this happened like I Said for a reason right that would have Been horrible so uh guys we'll have Another fun jet video popping up right About now thanks for watching we'll see You there bye
