Graffiti Artists Redesign Russian Helicopter

helicopter

This helicopter looks like the result of a 5-year-old’s nightmares combined into one helicopter-shaped mass of vomit. Created by artists Beastiestylez, casiegraphics, Dog ISK, I ARE UGLY and ABC, this Russian helicopter thing, sans rotary blades, was the result of a rare collaboration between considerably well-known taggers.

The helicopter will be on display from September 21 to September 27 at the Berlin Art Salon Exhibition.

Dutch Hunt Marijuana Fields With Toys

Guess who has a lot of free time and loves toys? If you said the Dutch government, you’d be correct my friend. These dudes love to build toy helicopters, attach sensors that sniff out cannabis and seek the stuff out in fields around the country. Seriously? You guys need a helicopter to find marijuana? It’s really not all that hard. Just throw a few matches into a field, let it burn and if you smell pot, success! If there isn’t pot, well, shit. Nice work on torching a field.

So growers beware. If you see a helicopter of any sort near your property, you’d best start running.

Helicopters Can Fly Upside Down?

Chuck Aaron, the only FAA-certified helicopter stunt pilot in the US, is showing off his piloting skills at the AirVenture show in Oshkosh. The single-manned Martin Jetpack isn’t the only eye popping, sky soaring demonstration going on in Oshkosh. Chuck uses a Eurocopter BO-105 CBS 4 Twin engine helicopter with a fixed rotor kept in the positive pitch allowing it to do aerobatics. Check out the above video to see him do a wicked nose dive that’ll make your nose bleed just by watching.  I hope he’s got a Lifebag in the event of engine failure.
