Flapping flyer


It´s summer and it´s time for nature to fill the skies with things buzzing and flapping. Mostly this is good for birds nesting and breeding as they need the food, for us humans its sometimes a difficult time. Today was not so although the sky was home for a flying and flapping thing. A small Robinson helicopter was crisscrossing the airspace above me for quite some time. I think it landed a few times on a field in the area. Doing work for the farmer or doing birthday trips? Me no know. The Robinson is having a ordinary piston engine, not the more common turbine found in most modern helicopters. Guess this is what it sounded like in the first days of helicopter use some 60 years ago.
