I have some wild helicopter watching stories. Best would probably be when there was a small wildfire a few miles away from my college. I was watching the flight tracker and saw them pull in a Huey and Blackhawk, and tracked down exactly where they were collecting water. Ditched class and went to watch them. They let us get like 100ft away from these ridiculous massive machines as they were taking on water. At one point, the Blackhawk pilot started playing chicken with us, trying to see if he could knock us off the hillside, LOL. Even still I will go out and watch most helicopters.
