Narcissist.

Helicopter accidents are freak occurrences but they DO happen.

That is TOTALLY way too self-centered.

Now I would like to know the proximity of the regularly used helipad to the facility--just to evaluate the validity of any 'urgency required this landing at the facility' overrode standard FAA safety precautions and concerns.

The helipad is maybe a 1/4 mile from the practice facility. As other posters have alluded to, he commutes regularly in this manner to the Star and the stadium.

Looking at the Frisco facility on Google Earth, I don't see a dedicated helipad anywhere on the property, at least not one I can see that is similar to what you would see on the roof of a hospital. Where he normally lands the thing is anyone's guess. The closest airport is Love Field, which would be fairly close to his home, so maybe that's where it's normally stored.

A quarter mile away? That is confirmed?

It is worse that I initially thought.

Over the years, there have been discussions among members concerning what qualifies as a tangible distraction for players and coaches. I wonder if this example qualifies as one?
Yeah, this one is gonna be hard to argue. Lol

The first test site for Uber's flying taxis is in Frisco

There's a hospital a half mile to the southwest, but it doesn't look like it has a helipad. Can't find anything within a half mile of the facility. It would be easy to miss, I guess.

I had started a reply about the Uber helipad next to The Star. Then I forgot I had already typed that when I replied to you. My bad. :)

Dak's house in Prosper is less than 10 miles away. Jerry should land there and carpool with his buddy on the way to the practice field. They could do some carpool karaoke on the way..
