Is that a Helicopter?!?!

Last night around suppertime, Myself and my buddy Jamie were enjoying a couple of beers in my den when the house started to shake. We ran to the back windows to see what was going n and to our suprise, a Helicopter was buzzing over my house, about 50 feet off the ground!

He buzzed the house a couple of times, then hovered over my backyard for a minute, it looked like he was trying to land next to the barn. Suddenly he pulled up, then flew a few hundred feet away, out over the water behind my house. He flew back in, and started to try and land in the graveyard next to my house. This is when it got scary. He seemed to be having some trouble, and was hovering maybe 10 feet off the ground, spinning around and rocking side to side. Pulling up again, he took off crookedly, and buzzed right over my roof on a steep angle. The windows were shaking and the trees outside were nearly tearing them selves out of the ground, it was really intense!

He managed to land in a backyard a few houses up from mine, and promptly shut down the engine. Jamie and I, being true Gawkers, jumped in the Jeep and drove to the spot where he set her down. I took a couple of snaps of it from the road. It looked like he was having trouble with Ice on the rotors, as a light freezing rain had started in the last hour or so.

The heli was still 'abandoned' when I drove by this morning, so perhaps he was having a bit more trouble than it seemed, or maybe he just didn't have the nerve to jump back in right after the scary ride!

But, most importantly, when we got back to the house, the beer was still cold.
