We have another “hint” of Christmas when this is about our place:
Our landlord grows Christmas trees. They’re hauled out of the fields by helicopter. The drop-off area is right out our living room window. The picture above was taken about two hours ago. The helicopter pilot is getting his bearings before starting to haul trees.
Here he comes in for his first landing here of the season:
Apparently he had to wait for the tree cutters to get enough done before he could start hauling. (That’s our back porch, our driveway, and a friend’s car.)
OK, here comes the first load!
That’s shot through our living room window, as is this of him coming in for his first refueling:
And here’s a zoomed-in photo, also taken from our living room:
We’ll have some noisy days for several weeks now. But it’s very fascinating (and exciting and special) to watch.
Helicopters are so neat.
Oh, these guys are Panhandle Helicopter Inc (from Idaho). Safe flying, guys!!
That’s pretty cool. It seems like it wouldn’t be cost-effective though, but it must be.
