the flying pool

We did it! The company I work for needed to get a 16 x 40 fiberglass pool onto the jobsite, but the homeowner didn't want any trees taken out (they were huge and beautiful, can't blame her!)
So we hired a helicopter to fly it over the 2 miles from the lift site to where the pool would be located.
here it comes over the tree tops
getting lined up and ready to set it down.
and I apologize for the video- for the life of me I can't get it to rotate so you can see it straight (its correct on my puter!)

this was so cool and the job went off perfectly!

Reminds me of the thread about dining in the sky.
You'll give someone the idea, hire some music and pool parties and hot tubbing in the sky!

Yup Jen, you kick ass at your job. It's no wonder you get a lot of positive reviews at work !!!!
You got a ton of responsibility on you, but you come thru as usual.
Good job !!!
Cheers, Dave
