Chopper 2 Morning Show

Alex Calder and I had a great time flying this morning for the KCBS morning show. Like I said before there is just something fun about the mornings despite getting up at such and early and cold time of morning. Everyone flying the news choppers always seems to have fun flying around each other and joking around on the radio. As the fog rolled in near Torrance Alex was shooting it for Ricardo's weather segment. Alex spotted a seagull and we started to film the bird and follow it. At one point when we first were trying to catch up with the little guy, the next thing I know I was right on his tail and had to back off. It was pretty funny. I flew along side this seagull for the rest of the show. The anchors and weatherman loved it as did Alex and I. We got a good laugh out of this birds reaction to us flying along side him. The bird kept checking us out and then would fly towards us which made me have to move out of his way. It was quite fun and spectacular to be flying along this marvelous creature and putting it on TV. The station raved about how cool our shot was and we had a great time being part of the whole production. It's the silly and simple things that make our job so fun and started our day out great! I look forward to more great days in Chopper 2 with Alex Calder.
