摘要

To some people, it would be cause for much grief, this Hughes MD 500 helicopter sitting in the hangar, rotor blades snapped, tail boom sheared off, Plexiglas cockpit nose broken. Repairs will cost at least $160,000. But to Darryl Ed, president of Haver-field Corporation of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a helicopter company that maintains power lines, it's nothing to mope about. He says the fact that the two men on board walked away largely unscathed was due to world-class piloting—under the circumstances.
