Helicopter in the neighbours backyard!
So for the past couple days we've noticed a helicopter flying around the neighborhood really low, like less than 100ft. Not a police or news chopper. Mostly blue with a few white stripes, no lettering anywhere, most likely just a private chopper. Anyways, yesterday, I hear this crazy loud noise so I go out side and it's in a low hover in the field 3 properties to the south of our place. I could barely see it through the trees then it took off, turned around and went off into the distance. I heard it again a few minutes later, looked out side and it was hovering right over our place heading south. I grabbed my keys and jumped in the car to follow it. It then landed in the backyard of a house about 1/4km from our house.
Crazy stuff, pretty cool to see. It's a pretty big sucker, little bigger than a news chopper. Could probably carry 6 ppl or so. It's still there today because it was too windy to fly. I should go see if I could get a ride, lol. I think thats what they were doing yesterday. Must be owned by a friend or someone who lives at that house.
Not something you see every day...lol. Pays to live out in the country!
Just thought I'd share with you guys.

Couldn't really get any pics.
By the time I grabbed my camera it was gone or out of range. Where it's parked you can only see the tail and rotors peaking out from behind the guys house, and I don't want to be nosey either...lol.
I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

Update:
Sorry ment to post this a few days ago, didn't get any pics, it flew away when I was out during the day before the snow storm.
But I believe it was a Bell 200 or 400 series Helicopter. Looked them up on their website, nice machines!
