Hey, who shot up my ride?

I can not tell a lie. It was me. Technically, I shot it up. And I was probably lying about that "can not tell a lie" part.

While not quite as impressive as my Saints Row 2 landing it wasn't easy navigating between all those pillars and trees.

Later while looking down upon my UH-10 Chippewa I was surprised to find the windscreen missing. Not to mention the bullet ridden chassis. While wondering "Hey, who shot up my ride?" I realized that it had, in fact, been me that had shot it up during the original hijacking.

Not me: But I did do this.After finishing the previous mission an Army helicopter flew in to the area and opened fire on me with it's dual Gatling guns. My character commented, "There's my ride!" before returning control to me from the cut scene.

I grappled up to hang underneath the Chippewa, swung up to the front of the helicopter, shot the gunner out of the door (hey, he started it), swung around to the pilot's door, had a QTE fight with the pilot, pulled him out and threw him toward the ground (hey, he may have lived) then swung in to takeover the chopper.

Of course, with Just Cause 2 being massive it still took me over five minutes to fly to my next destination. And one or two extra were required to land it in the small clearing.
