Prisoner flees in hijacked helicopter

BRUSSELS, Belgium - Two men hijacked a helicopter Sunday and forced the pilot to land in a prison courtyard, where they picked up an inmate in a dramatic jailbreak, the pilot told Belgian television.

The helicopter then landed less than a half-mile from the prison, where the three men got in a waiting car and drove away, VRT television news said.

BADASS! I was in Belgium recently, I saw a car chase while I was driving through a small town called Spa, I think? Was crazy, never seen a car chase before.

This was attemted in northern Michigan about fifteen years ago as well, only it didn't turn out as planned. A girlfriend of an inmate took a few helicopter lessons at a nearby (to me) airport and stole the helicopter on a weekend (2 a.m.). She wound up crashing it trying to land and refill, directly across the street from a police station. The escape never took place and she was arrested within three days.

When the news was reporting this, from the airport she stole the helicopter, I was doing touch and goes and was apparently used as their "action footage." A small fraction of my 15 minutes.

Northern Europeans are so much more organized than we are.
