So was the Random ass balloon that was parked over our initial point in Las Cruces.... mix that in with the UAVs and random ass gyrocopter taking off on taxiways without radio calls....that was an interesting couple days...
When I was out there the gyrocopter (pronounced "yearo-copter") wasn't too big an issue, it was the medevac twin and one particular pilot that would make her traffic calls from what seemed like El Paso, and then continued to make her calls every mile thereafter, making sure EVERYONE knew that she had a critical patient onboard. We got it. We'll move when you get into the same county, now be quiet so the rest of us can talk.
So was the balloon over that bridge thingy next to the town? I guess that's as good a place as any.
Well I just remember one day in the fabulous airport diner hearing about the "Yearo-copter" taking off of the damn taxiway while T-34s were buzzing about. People were NOT amused. Civilian pilots also sucked quite a bit.
