    Reach up and touch the skids

    The NYPD came by low, for the second time, they come out of the old Floyd Bennett Field where Howard Hughes took off and landed after circumnavigating the globe, about 10 minutes away. Great bunch of guys, St. Michael watch over them.

    I like to circumvent things... like the GF telling me she needs more $ for shopping.

    What the hell was I thinking? Oh, he circumvented Jane Russell's bra so he can circumnavigate her globes, is that correct?

    That's check and mate, actually the first pass was lower but I couldn't get my camera out in time. There are 36' + sailboats lined up there, some with 50' masts so they can't get too close but for us civilians...that was close.

    I used to sling load under hovering CH47's and UH1's... that's the closest
