Every now and then a helicopter will fly really low by our house and keep circling around. I don't know what he/she is doing, but I swear it barely missed our house one time.

That was nice of them. I wouldn't expect a company that big to pay much attention to it.

When SW first came to our airport, they held a contest for all the elementary schools in the area, and a class from our school won. They flew them to Baltimore for the day, bussed them to Washington DC and took them on a brief tour of the city, then flew them home that night. It was awesome.

That sounds great! But how long was the ride to DC?

Seems like a full day, but a fun one for the kids!

Yes, we're not a very rich area, so most of those kids had never flown before, so it was a great experience for them. And seeing Washington like that was something they'll never forget.

I never flew until the 6th grade, and I haven't flown since. It'd be really cool to fly for a field trip, though. I bussed to Chicago a couple times (5 hours due to traffic), and to Green Bay (3.5-4hrs). Some groups have even bussed to Indianapolis and Washington DC from here.

Oh, my gosh! I just thought of this! Maybe it's the "Jesus + U = :)" guy!!

Or Scott Keating. Or Scuttle! We certainly do have a lot of imaginary friends that can fly.

I too live near an airport - and the Southwest planes get pretty low (and loud!) on some days. The first time I was walking my puppy and a plane flew over he literally jumped a foot off the ground he was so scared. It was pretty funny.

All this plane talk makes me want to share. I live on a hill five minutes from the big Ohio Army National Guard Military Base (formerly called The Arsenal, an ammunition plant from 1940-1971 so it's huge!) and when they have their multi-state manuvers they have all kinds of military aircraft flying over. Sometimes I feel like Radar from MASH because I can hear them coming. The neat thing is they all fly low and some have the doors open on the sides with the soldiers sitting with their feet or their legs dangling out the side. If we time it right we go outside and wave and they wave back because we can see them just as well as they can see us. The worst is when they bring in the big boy carriers. Those rattle the pictures on my walls.

  • I must say I do like that commercial where they are trying to release the rescued seal back into the wild and a shark jumps up and eats it. :p

The school I taught in was quite close to the national Guard airport, and our rooms would shake when some of those planes or troop carrier choppers would be landing.
