On my way to work the other day, I saw something out of the corner of my eye that caught my attention. It turned out to be a Remote Controlled (R/C) Helicopter in an old unused parking lot just a mile or so from my neighborhood. Not being in a huge hurry or anything, I pulled into the parking lot and watched for a while. I also took a few snapshots:

R/C Helicopters are pretty fun to watch and I bet they’re fun to fly too. These things can fly just about anywhere, too! That’s what really struck me when I was watching. To fly an R/C Airplane, you need an open field with a decent landing strip. But you can take off and land one of these babies from the bed of a pickup truck, if you had to! 🙂
