Einstein was just minding his business at Johnson Creek today when a helicopter flew by towing a cruise missile.

Yeah, that's what they were actually doing. It was these guys:

However, before I talked to them, I was also hoping it might be a JATO rocket for getting over mountains in a hurry. :D

They probably got a ping from the aluminum in your bird and will be back to start an aluminum mine in JC. :shock:

There goes a good thing.

Here's Fugro's Casa 212 crash on the highway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan few weeks ago...double engine failure, the pilot worked his magic in a city setting..fantastic if you ask me...unfortunately, the onboard technician did not survive ;(

Oh shit Matt,
Don't start the dreaded over the house landing at JC again.
Still can not believe all the PC BS on BCP over this last year.
Here is to landing into the wind. :twisted:

Re: odd helicopter flight at JC

That has been a common site here in N/W Ontario the last few years. Lots of gold exploration, drilling going on 7 days a week. Helicoptors have been key in gathering data and moving people into remote locations. It is now as likely to see a helicoptor fly over as a Beaver on Floats. For those interested in aviation as a career, this may be a niche.

Same type of device and others have been here at SNY over the last several years..said there were studying ground water aquifer etc.. I think it was just a big dildo out to screw the taxpayer since we were paying for it!!
May have been the same guys.

Re: odd helicopter flight at JC

With the crap weather over Memorial Day here, at one point I was watching the Redux version of Apocalypse Now on the sat TV, and just a minute or before the famous line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning", when the big helicopter attack is going on, I am sitting there amazed at the audio..... I have a basic nice LCD 32" TV, nothing special, but the helicopter sound track was resonating through the house like I was at a movie theatre. Then I went out on the deck, and saw a military chopper, green anyway and big, was flying down the valley below me following I-15. They couldn't have timed it better! While outside I could hear the TV choppers and they all blended together for a great soundtrack.
