Days Inn - Swainsboro, GA
November 9, 2008 | Swainsboro, Georgia | Vetting explained
On my return cross country flight from Savannah, GA back to Pensacola, FL, my Naval TH-57C training helicopter indicated low transmission oil pressure. I was forced to perform an emegency landing into a small airport in Swainsboro, GA. This is the view from my hotel room at Days Inn where we will remain overnight until maintenance can fly another helicopter out here tomorrow. Yes, we ate lunch/dinner at the "New China Restaurant" seen in the pic.... Not a whole lot else here, but at least I made it to an airport and I am not sitting with my helo in a farmer's field in the middle of BFE.
