Our four year old grandson loves airplanes and likes coming to the airport with his mom to pick us up. This time when he arrived he said he wants to go on the air plane. I promised to take him to the airport thinking we can see the planes taking off and landing. Pretty good for a little boy. So he grabbed his aviator jacket with helicopters and deckles on it and off we went to the airport. A nice looking helicopter landed when we arrived and we had a hard time seeing it because the landing area was covered by buildings.
I decided to go to the office of the helicopter company hoping they would let us look at the landed helicopter. My partner in crime was excited to go in there so I picked him up, thrown my camera on my shoulder and we went to the office. There were a few man sitting there in what seemed a waiting area and a lady behind a desk. I told the lady we were looking for a job. I informed her that our 4 year old grandson was a pilot and I am his groupie. First they froze and then they laughed. I asked the lady if we could see the helicopter and she said yes. I was so excited. My favorite pass time is doing something that gives people pleasure and seeing our grand kids smile makes my heart sing.
Base Engineer Dave hunt showed up and gave us the grand tour of one of their helicopter in the hangar. He sat in the pilot's seat and I snapped some pictures of him looking very serious and involved in his "work".
We than went outside to see the helicopter that landed and later saw it take off. I was able to take some photos of it taking off and here are some of the results. Jet Ranger during takeoff.
I would like to thank Vivian Turcotte, Base Engineer Dave Hunter and the pilots for an unforgettable day.
Please send donations for our grandson's pilot training. (joke)
