Black Hawk

BLACK HAWK DOWN!!

One of Rowdy's best friends from grade school is now a helicopter pilot for the US National Guard. He flys a Black Hawk and today he flew it to Newton for his sons boy scout troop. He invited us to come check it out, so of course we did and it was really awesome! I didn't get to stay long because the babies were getting fussy and it was really cold and windy, so I had to bring them home and get some lunch in their bellies. Rowdy stayed for the 'education' of the helicopter and said it was neat learning what all is involved. This first clip is a video of Ryan landing the helicopter and then some pics I was able to get before I had to leave.

This was right before landing

This is the only thing that sounds better than a motorcycle :)
