Chimney's "inside man" must be an absolute maniac. Who gets a phone call out of the blue, is asked to commandeer a LAFD helicopter and fly it into a Cat-5 hurricane, and says, yeah, sure?

Or, Buck meets their rescue mission's would-be pilot and is extremely normal about it.

Buck looks down and—they're still shaking hands. Jesus fucking Christ. If he thought he had the time, he'd crawl into the 480-gallon tank on the airbus and drown himself, but instead he wheezes out a laugh and lets go. "You know, I was reading up about rotorcraft flight mechanics on the way here, and throttling is… important. Throttling maintains engine power to keep the rotor speed within limits. Throttling is good." "Throttling is what I'm gonna do to you if you don't shut up and let the nice man steal a helicopter for us," Chim adds.
