He had a bird's eye view of the city's downtown area and nearby Tunku Abdul Marine Park islands. Also on board the air wing unit's Eurocopter was Yusaidinnor's mother Maimunah Ghani and Sabah Deputy police commissioner Awang Shaari. Yusaidinnor appeared pensive when he was strapped to the seat before the flight, but was all smiles as the helicopter touched down at the Sabah police air wing base at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport at about 10am. He later hugged Awang Shaari, flight captain Dhame Herman Abdul Hoesni Abdul Aziz and co-pilot Norzan Hamdan, telling them it was the best day of his life.
