Stop in for a cup of coffee
Really interesting how the helicopters can fly and how the pilots control them, using both hands and both feet all at the same time. Was standing out in the field next to the Green Giant's Canning Company's Crop Duster spraying helicopter as they were spraying the pea field there. Was chatting with the pilot there as he was reloading the sprayer, he hopped in to go up again so I stepped back to get out of the way.
The pilot brought the small copter's engine up to speed and sat there for a bit with the blades just a twerling. Then the pilot changes the angle of the whiling blades to create lift so he can take off. Just as he changed the angle of the blades it moved so much air that it blew the hat right off of my head. I was pretty impressed, and up he went to get his work done.
