Cargo Helicopter Over Downtown

I know this might not be all that exciting, but I think these helicopters are cool.

Pardon the crappy picture...I took it while I was driving down Dallas coming back from Krogers...and I'm one of those that can't talk on the phone while driving...so I'm surprised I didn't blow a tire on the curb (or another car) trying to take this picture while going 30mph.... :lol:

Yeah it was loud as hell and woke me up at 7 30 this Sunday morning.

:lol: I just now rolled out the bed at 8:00am/Sunday, and can hear it over here on the other side of the GRB! :lol: I took the pic about 3:30pm on Saturday...I hope the pilot is drinking plenty of coffee.

Thanks for taking this pic. I've never seen a helicopter like that. I might have to steer my car over that way this afternoon and see if I can catch a glimpse.

That's so funny. Almost exactly 24 hours before you were taking pictures of that sky crane in Houston, I was taking pictures of a sky crane at work in Chicago:

I made a video for one of HAIF's remaining sister sites, the Chicago Architecture Blog:
