Helicopter Buzzes Wal-Mart

I was shopping at a Wal-Mart on December 17, 2004, when I noticed
outside a helicopter flying just over the tops of the parked vehicles
in front of the store. It was flying towards me, about 20 feet above
the ground and climbing. I got a photograph of it when it was about 50
to 70 feet in the air. It quickly flew up past me and over the top of
the building.

I realize that helicopters have a lot of flight freedom, but it is
still shocking to see one flying directly towards oneself like this.

Why? It is always flying towards somebody. Anyway, if that helicopter is
only 50-70 feet up it is an RC model. I know that you insist that you were
there and know better, but what did you do, use a tape measure? How the
heck
do you know that it was only 50-70 feet up?

Well, 60 feet is home plate to the pitchers mound, and 70 feet is less than
home to 1st base.

He's a terrible judge of distance.

Let me tell you about the running shot I made on a deer at 500 yards!

That ain't nothin'! First game I ever took, I didn't have time to get the
12 gauge up to the shoulder, before the rabbit would have gone into a briar
patch, so I shot from the hip.

When I cleaned it, I found only about 5 pellets in the head/neck, and
nothing in the body.

Sometimes, better lucky than good!
