My excitement for the day..involved a HELICOPTER!

Someone had a medical emergency at the grocery store near my house, heard the copter land but didn't get video of it landing, got video of it taking off though. It takes off at 2:45, the kids loved it...hell I did too!

When i was a teenager we would sit at the end of the runway and watch the planes takeoff and land.(like waynes world)
It was a blast. They closed the road now but those were the days.

Very cool and a treat for the kids. Hope the poor soul that needed it will be OK.

Shortly after building his house in the late 70's, my father was sitting at home having breakfast one morning when the silence was shattered by the sound of rotors. 2 huge black military jobs landed in the field in front of his house. He grabbed his dinky little 110 instamtic and snapped off a few pics before they took off. I have those stashed in a box somewhere. Never did figure out what those big black Huey's were doing or why they had to make the unscheduled landing.

as cool as it was to watch the helicopter land so close to my house sadly this morning I found out it was an 18 month old baby, not sure what happened but it must have been serious to have to be flown out

Eh, I sorta had a similar experience while in the Army.. I was stationed temporary duty on a Turkish AFB that was home to Coalition Aircraft just after the first gulf war. We lived in tents right beside the runway, down towards the end of it. Every morning.. Six F-15s, 8 British Tornado's and 8 French Jaguars took off at 4am. Nothing like a full afterburner take off to shock you out of a sleeping bag. That got old really fast and lasted the entire 6 months I was there.

I've had them land in my back yard a few times, really does get the kids all excited.

Hope the child was OK.
