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.

I have stood next to Jack Roush's Citation 525, which crashed in Oshkosh, and also next to Biffle's Hawker.

As I am a teen pilot, it is a reminder that anything can happen, and it doesn't matter who you are.
actually, the jet the Roush crashed last year was a Beech Premier
