Ed, the pilot, and Mark, the engineer/mechanic spent the week in Portage, arranging for parts and then fixing the helicopter. And then they were kind enough to come by and let us know when they were ready to take off. They let the kids sit in the seats and told interesting stories about helicopter rides.
And then they were gone.
My one son told Mark it was the most exciting thing that had happened in his life. I think Mark felt a mixture of being tickled at the honor and pity for such small lives out here in the sticks. But that's okay. We all know a little more now at the end of the week than we did at the beginning, and who can complain about that?
