The photo of the '76 on the railroad tracks reminds me of an accident in Saskatchewan a number of years ago. The pilot - I think he was flying a Bell 47 - was out in the bush and decided to land on the railway tracks. He felt it was safe because there aren't many trains in the north central part of the province. Well - you can probably guess the rest - he picked a bad time because along came a big freight train which couldn't stop in time. Fortunately everyone safely got out of the chopper but the pilot had some explaining to do to his boss.
