You gotta love Texas, and those that inhabit its space whether it's on the ground or in the air.

That Whirlybird is about 50 miles west of me. I like the folding rotor and the motorcycle front end. May have to ride over and find this guy. Looks like a private strip. bet somebody at the local beer store knows where to find him.

Thanks for posting, Mike V.

I love that it has a controlled descent, but yes a BMW would fit better:

Though searching on BMW and helicopter, I strangely found this image more appealing, its the more modern aircraft I think that does it for me, ;-) :
