As I write this Monday morning
the drone of a helicopter is heard.
immediately think of the air
ambulance and hope for the best. A
short time later I hear the drone
again.
I then learned from a caller that
the Brussels Agromart was hosting a
day for their customers and
helicopter rides were booked in.
What- a great idea and I heard from
one rider and son that it was
awesome.
