Summertime brings outdoor crowds going to the seashore, theme parks, sporting events and what have you. Where you have outdoor crowds, you will have airplanes towing advertising banners in circles above the crowds. But they do have to refuel from time to time. And since the local airport is a banner-tow base, they generally pass close overhead departing from and returning to home base.
Our protective pets see these guys as aerial intruders and carry on with barking and growling as soon as they hear the airplane engines laboriously towing the extra weight. I can’t notice the difference, but they seem to. Remarkably, they couldn’t care less about other airplanes flying in the same pattern or low-flying helicopters. But let a helicopter pass with a banner behind it (yes there are a few) and the dogs go bat-shit crazy!
Brainster referred me to you about the 101st Fighting Keyboardists…I’d be interested in coming aboard. Might you come have a look. Fear And Loathing – The Gonzo Papers
As for this airplane situation, if another aerial banner flew again nothing would be lost except for a blight in the sky and a pain in too many peoples’ ass.
Interruption between brain and keyboard…As for this airplane situation, if another aerial banner NEVER flew again nothing would be lost except for a blight in the sky and a pain in too many peoples’ ass.
