Idiots. Go to the Emergency Vehicle Show in Aurora in August and they'll land there and let people climb all over the thing. Sometimes I think you get a guard who thinks he's the head of the FBI. Were you on Loyola property? I'm such an *** I would have asked him to call the police and ask about the legalities of taking photos, especially if you weren't on their property.
Quick question for those in the know - I'm pretty friendly with one of the flight nurses on one of our local helicopters, and they just bought four rehabbed birds over the past year or so for Lifeline out of Rockford (IL) and their sister hospital out of Peoria, which runs two birds. The fourth will rotate for maintenance. They're all Bells, with two blades. She flat out said that the four blade aircraft "ride" horribly and beat up the people working in the back, and they specifically wanted two blade. Is this really the case?
They do ride alongs, I'll have to try and get one. Maybe I should wait until its cooler out so my fat *** won't impact the cargo capacity so much. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
