No it really is true - they got the record !

News 9 Report

This is a shortened version of the full interview ( Full details can be seen by clicking the "Media Player tab on This site ) but you should get the idea of how professional these guys are :

The guy with the shades is the infamous Johan Nurmi - Co-Director of the US Acadamy of Aviation, and founder of the cash strapped charity The Christian Foundation for Starving Children/.
The big chap is a student pilot ( A Chiropractor is real life ) , and the pilot at the time of the storm they were flying in is an ex army pilot.

After watching the video - Any comments on the conditions they were flying in from Kiowa pilots ( this is a restored ex-'Nam era bird although apparantly it never went there ) ???
