I hadn’t got her up in the air yet. I was running thru my preflight inspection. All of the sudden I hear a loud engine. A Cessna flew directly over the area where I fly. It was approximately 300 ft in the air and moving very slow. I live way out in the country and this is a rarity. It just goes to show you we have to stay on our game, consistently. Happy flying!!
 
Eye to the sky! I'm in the intersecting circles of five different hospital helipads. Even though I always contact Life Flight dispatch prior to taking air, I assure them my eyes and ears are "at altitude".

Amen to that. Even out here in the boonies where I’m used to being alone in this airspace I’m always on alert. In the beginning of summer we also get the occasional crop duster flying extremely low.
 
Remember, airplanes may not always obey the rules perfectly too, keep your eyes open!
Sometimes a plane maybe looking for something, or having problems.:)
