Father Takes Son to School in Helicopter

hello krupesh, I don't think that is a good idea at all just to impress his son's friends on the first day of school. Even a President or a Royal family will not do that. I myself will never do it given a chance to have a helicopter. Maybe a bodyguard will do but not that way.

That is amazing I remember when the governor visited our school and he came in a helicopter in the football field. That is one way to make an entrance.

Not many of the other parents at that school have a helicopter I imagine. I think that the dad should have asked where to land his helicopter but he just didn't do that. I am sure the other students were impressed. I don't think it should be investigated but the school should tell him where it is safest to land. Thanks for that unusual and amusing story. I know that I wouldn't want to show my son up in front of his friends. I remember my mom's old yellow and black car that she had when I was a teenager. Oh, it did make me laugh.

Hi Krupesh. what a story you have told. It is very interesting. But I feel even if the father had done such a thing to impress others it might have put his son in embarassing situations. Usually children do not like to have friendship who show off their wealth. But if it was only for the first day any embarrasssement can be eased out. I wish everything will be ok with the father and son Happy mylotting

A little weird, and I have to say if I was the kid I'd be more embarrassed than anything...at that age you want to fit in, not be set apart from the others, though he may get some superficial friends out of it who want to hang around the guy with the helicopter and get invited for a flight! I went to a fairly posh private school in England and there were many girls who were being dropped off in their Bentleys and Rolls and ferraris and whatever..I remember one girl who was a day student, but was friends with the boarders so used to hang around after school. She had a chauffer to pick her up, and he would arrive at the time school finished. She would make him wait, sometimes 3 hours or so, until she was ready to leave, and he had to do it. Little brat!! My family was not THAT sort of rich....reasonably so but not up with the 'Daddy bought me another pony for my birthday, come to my pool party' set - my parents paid for me to go to private school because my Dad got up for work at 4am and my Mum cleaned other peoples houses. So we had a bit of an old rattletrap of a car, as the money went on the school fees of course. But I thought that was great - my brother and I used to think it was quite funny and say to Mum 'go and park next to that Bentley, you're as good as them! How dare anyone look down on my Mum when she worked her socks off to give us an education, I thought! And apart from that, some of 'em got to go home to clean houses because of her! lol....I wonder if Chauffer Girl's family ever got a helicopter?!

I'm sure the son will definitely remember that day for the rest of his life.... whether that memory is a positive one or a negative... well, that really depend on how socially retarded the kid is. What is the father thinking..!!!???? i wonder what he is going to do when his kid goes to college. Seriously~ Maybe if the helicopter was not rented~ it might help the kid get some genuine attention but even so... not a good start for a high school freshman

A comment I'd like to make before answering your second question, so I guess you first question would really be answered by my comment, in any case, if all were fine and safe, why does it matter where the father landed? Sure he should have gotten permission mind you, but maybe he hadn't thought of that considering I am sure he would not be gone for long either way. As for impressing my child, which my fiance and I are not yet ready for children, I don't think that I would fly a plane just for that reason. We will teach our children that impressions don't make a difference unless they are to impress a person of authority. That is to say, that what other peers his age think only matters if it's positive, or is a positive reinforcement, or something he or she can learn from.

what a very weird act. i think that we better question the personality of the father to make such a thing. he does want to impress his child he can do so without scaring any one . i think people will be scared if some one just bring on a helicopter and landed on school ground.

It may embrass the boy instead of "making a positive impression on the other students" cuz now they are investigating this.What a crazy idea Bart Sutherin had!

Wow,that was great...what a grand entrance. But,yes,the police has all the authority to question this act. It is a school premises and care should be taken very well. I could understand about the father's intention for giving his son a very proud entrance and impression to his schoolmates,but it's not being done properly. I don't think it's weird...it's a parental love and a proud parent. But he should take responsiblities to what he is gonna do,someone might get hurt or maybe an accident could happen,and this is all the police were concern off.

Wow! i have surely imagine myself going to school with a Helicopter or a Harrier fighter Jet, why are they so mad at, i mean it's just the first day. after wards, he goes to school the following day like the rest of the students. what are they so afraid of? maybe his dad should have wrote a letter to the school that he's bringing his child through a Helicopter..

Pity I dont have a son, and I dont have a helicoptor. I would have landed it right at the Whitehouse. :-) Why waste human resources on such mundane issues! One hell of a lucky kid. I too would have been like that - this is for all those of u my friends who can think of urselves as my children. lol. :-) Hey I can say so. I am 50 and proud to be here. :-)

It is amazing what can happen when people let EGO take over their lives. Funny thing is that it seems like it always gets you in trouble...darn EGO!

Thats fantastic. But in my country India we cannot be like that because it is a developing country with a huge population more than 100 million, most of them dont have car itself. in my country only politicians will use helicopters that too rarely. It may happen only after fifty or sixty years.

Morning Krupesh! Gosh what a show-off that dad was! No I don't think I would have done anything similar for my son. Surely he could have been embarassed at being the talking point of the school for the next few days and that could have had a negative impact on the rest of his school time. I think that his friends, rather than being impressed, might have started all the name-calling as they might have been a bit jealous and considered him a show-off. Had I had the chance to do something similar then I would rather have done it without involving the school

that's one way to make an entrance, but may be not the right one. i've had our horse float on a few times during school hours and dropped my son off with it on, cause we were going somewhere and it was easier just to take the float and keep going. sounds like it may cause trouble down the track, with the kids friends.

I think it's amazing also crazy thing. Sounds like over acting if only for impressing other people, especially children. I think he wants to being looked as rich man. If i were him, perhaps i will choose to renting a Ferrari car instead of renting a helicopter. Although we want to impressing other people, but i think we must do it with some sense. Don't do something which doesn't make any sense. Now, after being caught by the police, i think he really successfully made other people impressed to them. Instead of making his son proud with his action, now he was successfully make his son lost his face in front of his friends. I hope everything will be ok at there, and his son won't lost his confidence. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.
