Bonus if the helicopter has a confusing sign on it?

Very nice of you to refresh the Missions, thank you Mr Bill...

DrIsotope

This felt like the solar panel mission all over again. There's helicopters all over the place 'round here, I thought. Rode over to the podunk airport where there's a little training helicopter always buzzing around. Nowhere to be seen. Head down to the proper airport, where Mercy Air lands... not there. Over to the Airtanker Base, where there should be a big water-dropping Skycrane, nope, that's gone too. Okay... the County Sheriff's Operational Division (aka heliport!) Nuh-unh. Off doing police stuff, I reckon. Just about to turn home, I remember where there's a helicopter that can't get away.

The San Bernardino Regional Emergency Training Center. Sorry for the pic being rubbish-- I think everyone else should still try to find a pic of a proper helicopter.

mr_bill

I was thinking of flying a quadcopter over my bike, so those are proper copters.

Who cares if they are also propless copters.

308jerry

Bwahaha, I've got a DJI Phantom I was thinking of hovering over mine......

_ForceD_

mr_bill...thanks for that compilation of completed/assigned missions. I had been trying to find time to do that. I was also going to make a list of what/how many missions had been completed per member for and overall tally.

I have a Trek 730 multitrack. It's a darker blue with white letters and a grey shadow to the letters. Please help.

bpcyclist

You might want to post this on the General Cycling Forum. as a new thread. There will be a lot more traffic there for you. I am not familiar with that particular Trek. Also, when you make the new thread, be sure you are very clear about exactly what you want from the group.

livedarklions

Take a picture of it in front of a helicopter.

wipekitty

Good find! Next mission?

DrIsotope

I'll go easy and say "artillery." I live in SoCal where everything is young, and can still think of 3 cannons within a 10 mile radius. Heck, there's a howitzer outside the VFW hall like 2 miles away.

mr_bill

Sitting this one out, so non-entry, but this (non-functional) howitzer represents musical instruments played for the Boston Pops each Fourth of July:

Notso_fastLane

Just to be clear, do tanks count as artillery? There's one parked about 1/4 mile from where I work.

subgrade

I'd say that tanks don't count. However, self-propelled guns and howitzers which look somewhat similar to tanks, do.

I-Like-To-Bike

Non-entry as it is an old picture; it was my bike at the time and the bullets are artillery (shells.)

DrIsotope

Now that's alotta 155s.

No tanks! Indirect fire only! Old-timey muzzle-loaders (i.e. cannons) absolutely qualify. Like the pic in post 367, most places have at least one piece of towed artillery sitting around somewhere.

3S1M

LOL. Not only do I get to see cool pics, I get a good laugh quite a bit in this thread. Hopefully someone can help him out.

I-Like-To-Bike

One 5in 38 and a pair of 3 inch in the local park. The pair are overlooking the Mississippi and pointing towards Illinois.

_ForceD_

What's the new mission?

I-Like-To-Bike

Waiting for the "Mission Accomplished" banner to be waved by DrIsotope. I am open to suggestions though.

DrIsotope

Those absolutely qualify. Iowa aiming guns at Illinois reminds me of the recent tweet about the (British) Royals:



THE GOOD PEOPLE OF IOWA MUST LIKEWISE BE EVER WARY OF INVASION BY THE ILLINOISIANS!!

flangehead

All I could do is think “Civil War”....

Mission: A picture of your bike parked at one of your favorite places to eat (restaurant, fast food joint, food truck, picnic grounds, etc.) or place you purchase food for making meals at home (food store, farmers' mart, etc.). Picture of meal is not necessary.
