Facemask was needed, that things sprays snow like a monster.

was it literally your backyard, or like land owned by the county/state/gov like a park or ballfield

awesome, i remember the day i visited D.C. I saw the presidents helicopter, more like 10 of them ;O

Yeah, I was watching something about Marine One and they usually fly multiples all about so you're never sure which one the man is on.

You could have just said a helicopter landed in your backyard, also tell them to get off your lawn, also tell them you charge parking for every axle on the vehicle, or in this case, rotor blade.

Then go off on a long winded speech about health and safety

cameras don't lie baggs, that was clearly the speed it's actually spinning...

So is that the way you do it in Canada? Have choppers landing on your back yard

At first, my reaction was what the fuuuuck? and quickly transformed into holy shit search and rescue is in the area (thought they might be looking for someone) and finally morphed to There's a fucking helicopter landing here

As for the conversation, I had called Moncton Tower's controller and asked what they were doing, and found out they had filed a flight to shediac. Curiosity got the better of me and I went over to talk to them as they disembarked, got a free tour of the chopper, taxis arrived ending my tour and they went to have lunch. I found it exciting seeing the heli tbh

this is usually what I have buzzing my house (literally).




They aren't letting me fly them though .

we get Longbows overhead - the Guard has them @ SLC Airport #2. you feel them before you hear them

I once woke up in the middle of the night when a MediHeli circled over the place I was living before. Woke up and was like who the fuck started a party at 3am on a weekday. The noise went back and forth and I started to think I'm crazy. The helikeli then found a tiny spot, in the middle of a intersection surrounded by trees and lightposts and started to land. I was totally baffled. And in the morning I had go check the place where it landed. It was tiny. Some guys fly where they are allowed to and these guys fly where they want. Respect for rescue folks.
