69-Year-Old Man Flies Helicopter to Shop, Says Drive Too Long

A 69-year-old man in Wisconsin wanted to go shopping at an outdoor store called Cabela's.

He did not want to sit in a long car ride on the highway.

So he did something most people would never do: he flew there in his own helicopter.

He landed the helicopter right in the store's parking lot.

People nearby were very surprised to see a helicopter land at a shopping center.

A sheriff's deputy came to talk to the pilot and make sure everything was okay.

The pilot had a proper license and followed all the rules for flying helicopters.

No laws were broken and nobody was arrested.

The officer said it was just a fun and unusual way to go shopping.

Many people online laughed about the story and shared their own funny flying stories.
