They started, the PJs started making an HLZ.
We found a field.
I'm looking at imagery on my phone.

I mean, he flies, you know, Gulf streams around the world.
And he's like putting it down in the field for the very first time in the middle of the field.
This guy had, I think he said over 22,000 flight hours.

So he dropped down in that field and we had a bunch of our SMU guys there with the baby.
My buddy Byron come running out with the little, I forgot, baby crib or holder, oxygen.

Car seat, yeah.
And we basically just loaded them into the helicopter, took off, and we flew right to Mission Hospital in Asheville.
So as we were coming to that rooftop, Mark was like, find me a place on the ground.
