THEY MADE IT!!!

The helicopter just flew past my weatherport. I heard the flight truck roar out to the road to go meet them. Since there are a total of 11 people it remains to be seen how many returned, and whether the pilot will go back for the others.

The rotors are still on, so it's possible he might hot offload that group and go back out. It's sometimes hard to tell because for hot offloading as well as for shutdown the rotors are kept revolving at a lower speed, so he will shortly now either shut down or rev up again to get the others. HE'S GOING BACK!!

It's got to be extremely risky doing that, but he's going for it.

Godspeed, Jonas!
