It will certainly be interesting to find out just where the helicopter will have to make it's emergency landing. Since there is no minimum airspeed to which a helicopter has to maintain to stay in the air, nor do we know what Kalani's planned route was to get to Ft. Irwin, it is impossible to determine how far "30 minutes out" translates to in miles. The only geographical reference is that they were now following the I-15, which tells me that the chopper immediately took an easterly route after departing the Tower. Most likely Kalani would have avoided having to climb over either the San Gabriel or San Bernadino mountain ranges, both of which easily top 10000ft (not a good idea in a helicopter). Kalani would also have kept both helicopters at a low altitude just in case of such an emergency and on a route that terrain that a helicopter could land if necessary.

Most likely their route have taken them north though the El Cajon pass which separates the two mountain ranges and also has the I-15 running through it. The question now remains, is Pegs putting the helicopter down in Fontana (aka "Fon-tucky") on the basin side or are they now on the desert side, closer to Barstow? Unfortunately, neither of these places bode well for our survivors, and both send chills down my spine...with or without zombies and/or mallers lurking about.

Btw, I loved Michael's first comment though when Pegs announced the hydraulic leak..."The thing Datu fixed?" What an a-hole.


Anyway, great job WA artists. It's been a long wait but we're all happy you are back. Get to work on the Bert episode. He's probably killed all the mallers by now and I don't want to miss the carnage.
