I was told by someone, they look for large areas of dead vegetation, by products of meth kill plants. Well, what I heard anyway…
I would have gone outside and waved at the helicopter. Peaceful law abiding citizen.

Then there is moonshinin…
But the biggest percentage, over here East of ATL, other than military transport (entirely different wing beat & direction), is high tension wire survey. Low altitude, straight transit horizon to horizon. We’re still pretty rare for Med evac and LE ops overhead.

Agreed though! No worries for me, shoot I’ve come mute to air craft around here being so close to Barksdale

Am I the only one here who actually had some moonshine? 
True story, a former co-worker told me about it, and jokingly said bring me some.
Well, he thought I was for
real!!!
No, did not drink it at work, but after one sip poured it out because its like fire going down your throat (If you like smooth, that’s not it).

Around the 4th of July a lot of drinkable vegetable compounds (mostly corn) appear around here

There you go! I like that name a whole lot more.
Felt like I was admitting to a crime with the word “moonshine”

@Henry4, Its a relief to know that was legal but also takes thrill away from receiving it in a mason jar! 
Plus, I don’t drink but always wanted to say I’ve tasted it. 
My old co-worker tricked me!
Oh, well, I’m not a drinker anyways but man that stuff burns. You are right, I did not get intoxicated from just a sniff as rumored hahaha but then again it was store-bought!
It’s funny how a thread progresses. I could start with “I like peanut butter” and within a day it would be like “Why do chihuahuas have such large ears relative to the size of their heads”.

The Chihuahua descended from a desert-dwelling dog which developed the famous Chihuahua parasol-like big ears to survive in the hot desert conditions. The ears shaded the face from sun, and also collected moisture from the air and condensed it through the skin, supplying the dog with water.
Who’s next?

@Dawn I started this thread and it’s officially been hijacked. No problems. Let the games begin.
Who’s next? Make me laugh. Today sucked.

@TexasEskimo… even hijacked… still on “helicopter” track:
A Blonde crashed a helicopter. Police Officer asked her what happened.
She says: “It got cold, so I turned off the fan.”

Something from my IT field…
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft’s electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter’s position and course to steer to the airport.
The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter’s window. The pilot’s sign said ‘WHERE AM I?’ in large letters.
People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said ‘YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.’
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.
After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how the ‘YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER’ sign helped determine their position.
The pilot responded ‘I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building because they gave me a technically correct, but completely useless answer.’

After reading this thread, these words are not valid anymore:
“[…] Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
Down, down
Shoot it all down […]”

Peanut butter was first introduced at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Peanuts and peanut butter became an integral part of the Armed Forces rations in World Wars I and II. It is believed that the U.S. army popularized the peanut butter and jelly sandwich for sustenance during maneuvers in World War II.
