Talking about the place in Jupiter, Fl caused me to remember a video
I had posted on YouTube years ago. Took me a while to find it again.

It's the day of my younger son's wedding. It was a hastily arranged
event because he was in the Navy at the time and he and his
bride-to-be gave us and her family about a week's notice of their
intentions to be married. They didn't want a wedding ceremony (just
wanted to go to a justice of the peace) but Mrs.E. and the bride's
parents decided otherwise.

We held it and the follow-up "party" at one of the houses we owned in
the community. I had met a guy down there who was a former military
helicopter pilot and had taken some flying lessons from him. He
offered to transport my two sons (groom and best man) to the ceremony
by helicopter. It was pretty cool.

The video is an edited version of what really happened. He "buzzed"
the area a few times with the bride and guests not knowing who was in
the helicopter. At the very end you can see my younger son looking
up at a balcony where his bride was watching.

Jim, you will remember this:

That was cool, but a couple of 2.75" rocket pods and a minigun would make it even cooler!
