Air Crane

This morning we were woken up by the sounds of a helicopter. Not a surprise since the helipad is just two blocks due west of us. What was odd, however, was that we could hear it, but not see it. And from the sounds, it was hovering nearby. After a few minutes we decided to go to the roof to try and figure out what was going on.

The Tower Club building next door was getting a new air conditioner...special delivery by an Air Crane.



Here he is lowering the old A/C unit onto one truck.

This pilot must have nerves of steel. Unbelievably, he landed his helicopter in the parking lot when he was finished between the palms and the oaks, what appeared to be inches away and not even cutting off one leaf.
