Whilst doing my preflight checks I heard the unmistakable sound of
the local air ambulance landing.
Those things are loud!
They have the hanger next to us so I paused a moment to watch them
taxi in. Sometimes they taxi, sometimes they hover.
They parked up and the whine from the rotors diminished somewhat
(they take a while to spin them down completely, I think it has something to do
with cooling them)
I watched as the two guys in the front got out and was relieved to
see that they didn’t appear to be in an immediate hurry, no patient in the back.
I was vastly amused though, to see the fact that they were both
carrying plastic bags from a local supermarket chain.
I’m sure it wasn’t the case but it looked exactly like they had just
nipped out to do their grocery shopping.
I wanna get me that mode of transport to pick up some snacks!
In the meantime I’m hanging on for dear life to the wing strut,
that rotor wash is fierce!
