Re: [RC] [RC] Found in Woods? - Laurie Durgin

My pasture is in a flight line for Dobbins AFB when they go Nw.I also get chopers doing lifeflights , and the power company does fly overs the power easement we are on. Helicopters are the norm for my horses(pretty much, they will trot a bit away from 'them huge buzzards'. Once we had a ballon real low, and we get some low flying planes. Right above the tree tops are close enough for me.

 the first one went over I heard the second one approaching and expected
 my horse would go nuts. She just stood there and looked up and went on
 down the trail. I guess it was just sensory overload. >>

LOL! We get military helicopters (local Nat. Guard or Texas Nat. Guard)
doing low-level training flights over our forest occasionally, but it's
usually late at night. One evening last summer I checked out some new
trails and got caught in the dark. As my horse trotted along in the dusk, a
helicopter roared overhead just above the tops of the pines. My horse
reacted, but it happened so fast, all he had time to do was stop and crouch.
My 15.2h gelding flattened into a wide-based creature about 13h tall. To
anyone watching he probably looked like a big red hairy toad. <G> Then he
straightened up, gave a long, deep snort, and we continued on.
