Last evening, I heard a noise over head. I grabbed my camera and by the time I got outside, these four helicopters were really almost to far to bother with a photo. Boy do I need a zoom lens.
I love planes, helicopters, and blimps. Once when Ted and I were at the cover bridge fest in Parke County, In. , we took a ride in a helicopter around the area. A Vietnam veteran was piloting it, offering rides. When we landed , Ted said, that was not so exciting. I said it was from my seat. Ted was in the back and I was in the front. All that was between me and falling out was the seat belt. There were no doors on this helicopter. :):) Weeee!
Hope you are having a good day. Cloudy here with threat of rain, but at this very moment the sun is trying to pop out. :) xo
i have never been in one and think i would be too afraid. it WOULD be exciting though!

Bee, Your sea girl , I gues. I must be an air one. LOL. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWe often have helicopters fly overhead. There is an air base not very far away. xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, If I lived near an air base, I'd be looking thru the fence all the time. I absolutely love jets. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat was very exciting Susie! I am close to the Peoria airport so I have gotten used to the planes.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Beth, The goodyear blimp has flown over our house a couple time and a helicopter once in awhile. But for four at once , it was exciting for me. I love aircraft. Blessings,xoxo,Susie
DeleteI've never flown in a helicopter. My brother pilots a small plane and I've never flown with him, either!!!
ReplyDeleteI took two lessons in a small plane and I could not stop giggling. It was ten times the excitement of any roller coaster. You should at least fly with your brother..to admire his ability to fly an aircraft. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteNever been in a helicopter. Years ago my husband and I got to fly in an old bi-plane....that was fun. We had goggles on and the smile on my face was frozen we were going so fast. Then the pilot dove straight towards a train and swooped up...oh my gosh, I was young and brave then....don't know if I would like that now.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to ride one of those...you know that is a rare bird. What fun. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI am so glad you got to go up in a copter, Susie. Good for you. I don't like being in any kind of aircraft....just me! Great pictures..and yep-you need a zoom lens!;>) xo Diana
ReplyDeleteDiana, This camera was suppose to take better ohotos than my old...but so it has not and it's harder to download them too.Bummer. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a dare devil you are!!! I had no idea....
ReplyDeleteI would probably get light headed now. LOL. I sure can't do fun park rides like I used too. xoxo,Susie
DeleteMy husband used to work on air craft carriers so he is mad on helicopters and is often in the garden with his binoculars.. I am always saying we are going to be done for spying! And we have loads of aeroplanes as we are on the flight path of several airports.. so interesting to watch and oh how I long to be on one some days.
ReplyDeleteBlog hopped and found you!
Chris
Chris, Thank you for visiting. I bet your husband has some great pictures of his days on board. I see plenty of vapor trails , caused by planes out of Indy. But they fly to high to admire. LOL. Hope you have agreat week, blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI am not a good flyer because of vertigo issues, but even if I didn't have that I don't think I could sit in a helicopter with just the seat belt keeping me from falling out! Brave girl!
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy the ride. But if I were to ride a roller coaster now, I would probably be sick LOL. xoxo,Susie
DeleteYou got some great photos! We always run outside when we hear something go over low. I've never ridden in one though! I think I would be skeered! lol Enjoy your week sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteYou cracked me up Diane. You hike into the woods all the time, and then say you might be scared, I don't think you are scared of much. LOL. Hope we get some wonderful June days soon. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWe had helicoptes hovering overhead last night, but not for a good thing. a little four year old boy drowned in a near by town. So said. We seem to be on route for the life flights.
ReplyDeleteWe have had beautifu weather. Some rain last night. A little bit ago thunder. We have had some rainy days but it brings the temps down. I am not a hot weather person so this is nice.
Debby, That is sad. Can't watch kids enough when there water around. It rained hard here this evening around 4:00 lasted a while too. I do not like hot humid weather at all. I love just 65-70 degrees low humidity...now that's for me. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI bet that was a fun ride! My dad was a pilot- but never have been in a helicopter. I will trade my helicopters for yours.
