Tail rotor failure followed by successful run on landing in a field. No injury to pilot, sole occupant.

One exhaust stack missing and presumed to have departed in flight taking tail rotor with it. :eek:

Some impressive flying.
That said, no less than I'd expect from the individual concerned :D

Really relieved that nobody hurt :ok:
