How did the California state police not stop this guy?I got the pics of the helicopter tow job from my buddy who owns the tire store where they stopped to get a trailer tire fixed/replaced. It looks like an Agusta, though I'm not certain, but definitely heavier than what I initially thought was a JetRanger. Apparently, this guy buys and sells copters and copter parts and this rig had a blown engine and tranny (something that happened on or near the ground, it would seem). He had already driven it from Riverside, CA and the pic was taken in Mount Shasta, CA, basically the length of the state! The tire guys fixed him up and sent him on his way, next stop Seattle (maybe). The wooden crate on the trailer contained the rotor blades. There's no "N" number on the tail boom so who knows what the real story is.

Everything about this seems sketchy and dangerous.
