That was Derrick out of Midway Fish Camp. He's a great guy & very active in the Christmas Riverboat Association. They do a lot for that part of the river.goldhunter_2 wrote:glad to see all seven people made it out and there was another airboater that went out to help

I hope everyone came out allright. I remember flipping mine over and was grateful for all the help getting back over and out

Bad things can happen quickly even to the most experienced operator. Actually it's about guaranteed that some interesting events will occur as you gain said experience.

Things for sure can happen quick with these potentially lethal toys we play with.
Any word on what happened, and more importantly the prognosis of those injured?
Prayers sent for all involved and their hopefully quick and complete recovery.
