Murder By Helicopter?

Looks like anti-hunting forces in UK are using helicopters to decapitate fox hunters.


Murder Weapon?



Update A commenter mentions that the vehicle in question should be referred to as a gyrocopter rather than a helicopter. The article makes that distinction, too. I think that most Americans on seeing such a vehicle will call it a helicopter, foregoing (as I did) fine distinctions.

    leoncaruthers: I may be mistaken, but I think that most Americans, at least, don't differentiate between helicopters and gyrocopters. I know I never have. Thanks for the comment, though, I will mention it in an update.

    Somehow, I have a suspicion the pilot's only regret is being possibly charged.......

    Maybe the hunters should add skeet to their repertoire. Only skeet with 00 buck. Which would make flying the gyrocopter a bit dicier. Just saying, is all.
