Sandstorm
[Quote:]
Here are some pics and footage of the shamal (sand storm) that tried to eat my helo coming back to my camp 2 days ago. I was 10 miles out flying back to the camp at the end of my mission and asked for clearance to land. Tower told me negative and to turn around because he was at 10′ visibility. I could see the storm billowing in the distance. I turned around and headed toward another camp. The sand storm was chasing me just like in the movie, “the scorpion king?. Mean while the crew chiefs in the back were capturing it all on their digital cameras. When I reached the other camp and contacted tower to ask for landing instructions, he replied, “Do you realize there is a sand storm at your 6 o’clock? I almost said, “Here’s your sign?. He cleared me to cross all active runways direct to my touchdown spot. As soon as I was wheels down the storm engulfed our helo. It was the wildest thing I have ever seen.

Op district 8 is nog wel eens een spelfoutje te vinden, maar de wegwerkers die de woorden “lijn bus? op het wegdek van de nieuwe busbaan nabij winkelcentrum De Veste hebben gespoten moeten toch flink hebben liggen slapen. Waarschijnlijk hebben ze het sjabloon in spiegelbeeld gehouden en het zo voor elkaar gekregen om c.a 8 keer dezelfde schrijffout te maken..
