Have you rescued Johnson?

[The M00ps]

I flipped on the first 2 tries, but landed successfully on the 3rd. On that 3rd try, I came in at a 90 degree angle (south to north, I believe) from the first 2. Don't know if that made a difference or not.

I saved him once. But it was funny because, I was coming in to land near his Spitfire, but it was touch and go, so I came back around to do it again, and before I landed, I heard that guy saying that it was a tight squeeze or something like that? So I guess, making a touch and go landing can achieve getting him as well?
