Welcome to When Pigs Fly, Helicopters
Anyone who has known me for any length of time will tell you that I always have an opinion. I have decided to share my opinion in this blog. I had been pondering this method of personal expression for quite some time. A fellow blogger and friend, encouraged me to stop thinking and start writing.
The subject matter here will primarily revolve around helicopters, airplanes, law enforcement and guns. There may also be some discussion of current events, travel and food. Who am I kidding, I plan to talk about whatever strikes my fancy. Thank you for taking the time to read my rants. I promise you nothing but my honest opinion and occasional exaggeration.
You may have seen this one already but I had to post it since this is what WPFH is all about. This is an incredible video. Excellent job by the air crew.

Thoughts on Freedom and Liberty

Ford, 1888)
