Brian says:
Hello everyone, and thanks for all your prayers and kind words of support. It meant a lot to me and my family.
I’m feeling a little better now. Sure, I look like crap, but I’m actually trying to smile here. Cut me some slack. If you want pretty, go hit the Jessica Alba pic at the “Bless You, Louis Réard” post.
(Thanks a lot, Dad, for taking the shot when my eyes were closed. Sheesh. I’m not in a coma, for Pete’s sake. You could have let me know you were about to take a picture.)
I’m curious about something. Do you think I look good with a moustache? I’m thinking about keeping it. Let me know what you think.
No, Wickedpinto, I am not going to give you the phone number of any of the cute chicks in this picture.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Is he making the water bottle levitate?
That’s pretty impressive, considering how he must be feeling right now.
Speedy recovery Brian.
Glad the dude is doing ok.
Did yall sneak him some decent food for Turkey Day?
Is he making the water bottle levitate?
No. I think thats Geezers other son, Levitating Larry.
[...] Flyin’ Brian seems to be on the mend. We should all be thankfull for heroes like Brian who put their lives on the line every day in order to save the lives of strangers. Brian is in the prayers of the Random household. [...]
I mean really!
stay well hoss.
[...] Picture of Flyin’ Brian on the mend here. [...]
Get well soon Brian.
Michael made Brian (and all of us) laugh with the captions.
thanks y’all
Here’s a NO vote on the moustache. Keep that clean-shaven look that the ladies love.
No. I think thats Geezers other son, Levitating Larry.
Now that’s funny!
Good talking to you today Brian. All of your friend’s @ Calstar have you in their thoughts. Get well soon so you can go on making the world laugh with your unique take on things.
You’re looking good, Brian.
Relax and heal.
How the heck is he doing that floating water bottle thing?!
This is what I call Thanksgiving! Take good care of him Mr. & Mrs. Geezer.
How the heck is he doing that floating water bottle thing?!
Puhleeeze! Brian ain’t doing shit. That’s me floating the water bottle. Brian is zonked out on his pain meds. Give me some credit.
While Brian is zonked out, I just want to mention that Stephanie is hot! ROWR!!!
Get well soon, Brian! The world needs more like you!
And if you plan to give up flying, that levitating water bottle trick should get you a permanent gig in any Las Vegas casino. At least as an opening act.
All right all right all right all right,
but HOW ya doin it?
I gots to know
but HOW ya doin it?
Dude, that’s Flyin’ Frickin’ Brian, he’s doing it with his Mind.
GO Brian. You’re a hero to all of us. We IB wimmins think you’re smokin hot.

Let the record show that Dave has made a judicial admission that he is one of the IB wimmins.
Dave is a girl!
Dave is a girl!
Dave is a girl!
Get well soon! Thanks for the picture, RG; thanks for the captioning, Michael!
God bless him and his.
Recover quickly Brian - this is a mean crowd.
Criminy, Just noticed.
Flyin brian in the non injured pictures looks like an all american who can take on the world.
In the injured pic, he looks like “morris”/”Malarky” from “ER”/”BoB”
Does he have red hair, or is that just the lighting making amber brown look red?
Oh I didn’t write that.
He is cute though.
Full speed ahead on the healing process Brian. And don’t worry Geezer, he’s young, they heal faster that old farts like you and me.
We IB wimmins think you’re smokin hot.
Dave,
I didn’t know Dave was a girl’s name. I always thought you were a guy. Now don’t take offense, but based on your Faces of Aces picture, you are one butt ugly woman, and shave that mustache if you want to pick up a husband.
Great to see you recuperating, Brian. Hope the rehab goes well.
Look on the bright side. You only rode a falling helicopter down out of the sky into the water, where you had to be rescued from drowning. It could be worse. Those injuries are nothing compared to what a person could get by refusing to stop constantly talking about football to LauraW while her gardening shows are on TV.
(seriously, get well soon and get back to doing the Lord’s Work. The world needs more guys like you.)
OK then, Dave is officially an IB Babe. But somebody else has to flirt with him. I ain’t gonna do it.
You mean you ain’t gonna do it any more.
Brian,
It seems like you’ve made a pretty incredible effort just to get out of doing the Thanksgiving dishes, but I commend you on your success in that effort.
Seriously, I realize this is the day after Thanksgiving, but I’m very thankful that you’re ok. And I’m also thankful that there are brave folks like you who risk their lives to save schmos like me. My dad was a pilot in Vietnam, and he still tells stories with awe about the brave helicopter pilots who flew threw unimaginable risks to save downed pilots, and you’re exactly that kind of breed. You’re the type of guy that we should all be.
On the other hand, I’m a little upset that there are guys like you because it makes it more difficult for guys like me to pick up on the hot, single women. They’re never going to put up with my stammering and flop sweat as long as they can compare me to good looking heroes like you.
And I like the mustache. It’s like a younger, more all-american Magnum PI.
Get well. And please keep us updated on your recovery. I’ll continue to pray for you and yours.
Thanks again y’all. Brian gots his own Private room now.
Who does he think he is anyway?
I think he had to move because there was no room for all the flowers in the other room.
I lost count of all the flower arrangements. He even got a bouquet from the girls at Shivers and Jitters, drive thru coffee shop.
The waitresses at JB’s restaurant called too.
The radio station in Louisiana, where he worked the traffic watch called and announced it on the air.
Seriously, who *is* this guy?
Anyway, he’s in room 601 now for all you Flyin’ Brian groupies.
Hey Brian, you look a little rough. All in Idaho are glad to see you doing OK and are thinking about you. Hope to talk with you soon!
Geez, good to see the boy recuperating.
Hey, I have an idea. Get the lad a videogame system.
Maybe, um, a Nintendo Wii, maybe.
Thanks Tim for checking in. I print out the comments and show it to him every day.
(Tim hired Brian to fly his helicopter from Redding California to Boise. They even landed in the field about 50 yards from our house)
Get the lad a videogame system.
Maybe, um, a Nintendo Wii, maybe.
Good idea Bart. We could strap it on his leg and he could do physical therapy at the same time!
Does Wii have a Tennis game? That ought to get his leg a-swinging.
Hello Brian,
I’ve been thinking about you the last few days and I will continue to pray for you in the days ahead. Send me an email sometime or give me a call at the PHI Modesto office. I trust you will get well soon! You can email me at LTKF7372@aol.com
Sincerely,
Loren
Brian,
As they say, word travels fast. I heard from CALSTAR of your mishap, and am glad to see that you are on the road to recovery. I will be thinking of you.
Kyle
Former CALSTAR Flight Nurse
Hey,
I found my picture of you and Jay Leno. What a great story that is. I can see you are being well cared for. Just wanted to say hi and that I’m thinking about you.
Dan Miller
Wonderful news! Glad to hear that Brian is on the mend.
Brian,
I’m thinking about you, I left you a message with the nurses, but you know how nurses are! I miss you, and the snowball/snowshovel fights!!!! I hope to talk to you soon. Kelly D’Agostini
by the measure that means the most,
Brian is a wealthy man.
Get well soon Brian.
Brian,
Hey man!
Just heard today from Justin about your mishap. I’ve been up in Oregon on X-mas trees. Tried to call, but of course no answer on your cell. If you’re able, give me a call or have Steph call me! Hope your getting well and you are in our prayers. Connie,Brian and Matthew say “HI” and “Get Well”
Mark
get well buddy
Get well buddy !!
I guess randy meant it the second time.
Randy Lewis has been friends with Brian for about 28 years.
Mark Geenen flew with Brian. I guess he’s hauling Xmas trees out of the woods with a long line tied under his helicopter.
Today I heard from the Flight Nurse who made the “Odie” cap for Brian.
“Jo Jo says hi and get well soon”.
Brian, I am so thankful that you are doing well. Today is the 29th and it is the first time that I have seen any information about you. I am Kevins sister. I was just wondering if the crash was fast or if there was a second for him to say he loved his wife and children. I know it would mean alot to them if that were the case. Please let me know if you can. Our family hopes the best for you and prays for your recovery.
Flyin’ Brian….hey buddy…how are you doing? Have been thinking of you every day, since I received word of your crash. Everyone here at CALSTAR says hello and is rooting for you and sending lots of love. Joni Alameda and I were fondly recalling the flight the 3 of us completed in the Big Sur area and the picture of all 3 of us in that beautiful meadow And remember how much we laughed about “the all night long” comment.. Hoping you are back on your feet in no time. Take good care. lottsa love, rose
Our family hopes the best for you and prays for your recovery.
Lisa, thank you for your comment. There are many people praying for your family, not just on this blog. Brian and Kevin (and Kimberly’s) story was linked on several other blogs also.
From everything I’ve learned about Kevin, I’m sure his last thoughts were with his family. It seems like he had an extended family and support group as big as Brian’s.
I know Brian is hoping he will be permitted to meet with you all when he recovers.
Prayerfully yours,
Brian’s dad, Pat.
RG:
I’m sorry I haven’t commented on your son and his situation prior to now. Sadly, I have been somewhat busy both at the job and at home.
I am glad to hear that Brian seems to be in good spirits and beginning his recovery. I pray he gets better soon. He strikes me as what this country seems to be sorely lacking: a real man.
I pray too for Kevin and his family. I wish I had more top say, but this whole situation leaves me a bit speechless.
God speed to all.
Brian,
When the news spread around Buchanan Field, I was so worried for you. You used to make my day whenever I’d bring a tour over to CALSTAR. You were the best with the kids!! Know that I am SO glad that you are getting better, I miss you and I pray for your speedy recovery. Get well soon!
Take Care From Your Friendly Airport Tour Guide,
Doreen
