Jet Boat Extraction Via Huey Helicopter, Black Creek Rapid, Main Salmon Aug 30, 2019

[@barrybeckford2733]

Impossible to read the blurry 2 tone letters pictures/video fimed with a 1964 "my first camera"...no sound, no comentary...have we traveled back in time?

[@samtatenumber1]

the badassness is incomprehensible

[@karindidisse4696]

It looks like the boat is wrapped up with something for the flight somehow?

[@VerliciaP]

I don't think so. Three straps is all they used.

[@lafarms]

@@VerliciaPblack plastic skid plate on the bottom. Kind of like a big sheet of thick nylon.

[@tonylatham5915]

Thanks for posting this. I was thinking it would be there forever.

[@VerliciaP]

You're welcome!

[@lrhervert]

Same here! LOL

[@BrokVoekler]

That chopper is owned by the Carlsons just east of Riggins.

[@cherideesnyder6037]

What size is it? Hope all was ok and good job getting it out

[@VerliciaP]

14 footer

[@NedSickels]

Wow soooo impressive. Thanks for letting us see it!!

[@alexiac.8907]

Did they have to get special permission to use a helo in the Wild & Scenic Corridor?

[@VerliciaP]

I'm not sure. We didn't get a chance to talk to anyone. The extraction was quick....less than 10 minutes.

[@cueist1]

As long as it doesn’t land it can be used. Otherwise even commercial jets wouldn’t be able to fly over frank church

[@tonysalecki]

Dirtbag Dynasty the boat owner had recovery insurance which is required. Insurance company hired the helicopter out of salmon two days later.

OMIGOSH!!! What a sight to see.

[@VerliciaP]

It was incredible!

[@kaitlindrake]

We saw the boaters right after this happened when we were floating the Main. Crazy!

[@VerliciaP]

I bet they were shook up pretty good. It looks like their run was scary.

[@208Brando]

Good job to whoever rigged the boat!

[@VerliciaP]

Dude, they did an amazing job!

[@heathacurtiss]

How on earth did they do that?

[@JustinMcFarland]

Wow really cool!

[@VerliciaP]

Thanks Justin. Not as amazing as your videos but it was incredible to watch. Lol ;)

[@JustinMcFarland]

@@VerliciaP ha ha thank you

[@realsheasmith]

Wow what a video!!!

[@stockischeap7328]

That was a pretty penny extraction. 75k minimum...

[@tonysalecki]

It was no where near 75k. Also, insurance covers it. Recovery insurance is required in the wilderness areas
