Ok..gas prices through the roof...less people on the roads and freeways…for sure less congestion during the morning commute when we are up flying. That’s all I really have for you traffic-wise..You know the drill…It’s been rather slow for us up in SkyFox the last several weeks..not much “traffic” to really cover. Well, we all got a nice break this past Tuesday…FOG DAY!! If you have ever lived in a cold climate area and had snow days..you know how we feel…Waahoo!! A little break from the routine..some time to play. The ceiling and visibility were both too low for us to fly out of Van Nuys Airport. All of the media helicopters sat on the ground through our morning news shows. So what do we do for fun?? Check this out: All the pilots, camera persons and reporters are super tight. Even though we complete for ratings, we are all good friends and support each other in the air and on the ground. Helinet Aviation has an incredibly talented staff that helps us and other news helicopters fly everyday. A few of the pilots were nice enough to tow me around the ramp on a June gloom morning..Good times! Take care everyone and happy father’s day to all the dads out there-
