This episode fights all of the technical difficulties of bad lighting and audio portions from a helicopter to bring us a crazy interesting visit with Mark Caffrey, a sky cowboy who flies helicopters to observe power line failures. We take a flight around Atlanta and then sit down to talk bourbon, helicopters, and infinite Caffrey wisdom on life. This one was TOO MUCH FUN!
