Helicopter Gunship

A new addition to the arsenal at Homer's Happy Hog Farm is this Raptor 30 Gunship (moo-ooh!).

Whoo-hoo!  It's a test firing movie!  Take heed, ye gophers!

The movie file is about 1 MB, so you might not want to load it if your connection is much slower than a Weed Wacker Plane on a hot summer day.

Anyway, since Ben isn't very good at flying the helicopter, he decided to put some rockets on it.  That way if anyone criticized his flying he could just blast them with a little missile.  It worked pretty good, except that the rockets would sometimes bounce off the ground and come back at the spectators.  We're sure the AMA would approve.

The rockets were basically the smallest of the Estes rockets the local store stocked.  They had to be slightly modified, though.  It turns out that the standard Estes rockets don't include a warhead of any kind.  This just didn't seem right, so we made our own.  Kids, don't try this at home.  Or at least not when your parents are looking.

Mom always insisted that we wear safety glasses.  Ben did, but Moe usually didn't because we figured he was expendable.
