Neat visitor . . .

We have a neighbor up the road whose father owns this gorgeous helicopter. Since we have this nice, open field, the neighbor asked if her Dad could land here from time to time to pick up his grandson, or drop something off for her. Since Gary is nuts for anything that flies, of course, we said 'Yes'. He hasn't been around much lately, but he dropped in twice on Tuesday - once to pick up his grandson, and once to drop him off - lucky kid! About 2 years ago, Calvin (helicopter owner) gave Gary and Brenton a ride so that we could get some aerial shots of our property. A thrill for both of them and a nice pic for our website (on the 'pictures' page).

Going, going,


Gone! (Gary, Lealand, and Calvin's daughter watching the take off.)

I also have been known to get alittle excited over the flying machines. I would guess that is a Robinson R-44?

You're right, Tim. It is a Robinson something or other!
