He's like, I need a helicopter to the fire chief.

And he's like, he's literally like, like pointing at me like, I need this helicopter.

So I'm like, you know what?

I'm going to be cool.

Like, you know, I'm doing what's good for the people in North Carolina.

I don't care about who's in charge.

So I go up to him.

I'm like, hey, I got a helicopter.

Like, where do you need to go?

What do you need to do?

He's like, I can't work with you.

I already told you this.

Like, I don't know your capabilities or authorizations.

So I start trying to explain to him, like, hey, I'm a combat controller.

I'm also an FAA air traffic controller.

I can, this is like what I do is literally set up austere airfields and HLZs.

Like I can land these helicopters out here for you, put your guys in it and go do the work you need to do.

He's like, no, you can't do that.

Like, I was like, well, I'm bringing in, at that time my state guard unit was driving up and they had helicopters.

I was like, I'm bringing in helicopters in here.
