Yesterday, I was driving through a town local to me, and |
| |
<br>><br>> > saw a helicopter.. it had 2 propellers, like a |

not a super buff <br>> on <br>><br>> > helicopters |
| |
*blush*)<br>><br>> ><br>><br>> > it was or appeard to be |

rectangular, and almost boxy i <br>> was <br>><br>> > never |

directly under it and i didnt' really get a good <br>> head |
| |
<br>><br>> > on shot of it, so i can't tell for sure but it |

was <br>><br>> > rectangular and narrow. <br>><br>> |
| |
><br>><br>> > the real defining look of it was the |

narrowness of the <br>><br>> > body, and the wheel and front |

(think it was the cockpit <br>> i'm <br>><br>> > not |

possitive.). The really unusuial points of this <br>><br>> |

what i think the cockpit was hung down from the main |

The helicopter almost looked like it could be used or <br>> |

maybe a boxcar, i couldn't <br>><br>> ><br>><br>> > make |

out any 'names' on it, the nose/cockpit was <br>><br>> > |

orange/red, the body black, with couple of gold painted |
