H is for helicopter

I love helicopters. They are amazing machines. This is PennStar. PennStar is the ambulance helicopter for the university hospital.


I like to watch it land on top of the inner city hospital roof. It's something to see on a windy day! I thought I'd have to wait to snap this shot, but PennStar dropped in as soon as I got my camera ready.

If I could pick one 'action hero' type job, I'd be a helicopter pilot. Rushing people to the ER, being a coast guard and pulling people from the water, spotting criminals, even putting out fires, the helicopter and the crew do it all.
