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.

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

In which case - Well done that pilot!!

[Flingingwings]

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

Really relieved that nobody hurt

[Aser]
