Blackhawk Flight Crew Gets A Parking Ticket [PHOTO]

Phil, personally knowing two pilots that live in that area. A good chuckle is definitely what they need.

Emergency crews are generally inundated with hours of boredom interrupted with moments of terror. I think they deserve to have a little fun on occasion. I think this is pretty cool.

In addition these people work really hard under conditions that would be unimaginable saving plenty of families from extremely harmful situations in challenging situations.

I live in Longmont (Boulder County, CO), and have spent the last two weeks helping families clean up and try and put their lives back together. These "streets" are still closed in many foothill and mountain areas. The helicopter pilots are heroes. The police officers and other emergency responders are heroes, and this is a great tribute to all of their hard work made in jest. I laughed and so appreciated the police officer's sense of humor in the midst of all that has happened here recently.

I like a cop with a sense of humor. Prolly a vet.

Love it!! - It helps to lighten the moment during such a tragedy :-))

GOD Bless those that serve our states in the time of need...and our country. Having served in an Army Aviation platoon full time and with the Guard, "we are here to serve". Much like the great Army aviator Ed "Too Tall" Freeman said, "You call, we Haul". What is with all of the thumbs down on the comments?

Great, a moment of levity is often uplifting in such circumstances

Can't wait to see that in traffic court

As a former EMT/firefighter for 12 years who saw plenty of full-color tragedy right in my face, I know we all, including all our first responders, Blackhawk crew too, need to laugh even in the midst of sorrow. I'm sure the Blackhawk crew thought it was priceless, and the officers around the station got a good laugh, too, before going back to their dangerous and often tragic roles. Laughter is a great stress reliever, and it's very stressful to respond to such massive tragedy. Let's hear cheers for all who serve, and allow them to laugh, and laugh with them, if it will help them help others better. And my basement is still drying out from the floods, but we were so much more fortunate than so many.

At least he did not have it towed. He might have been hoping to list it on the asset forfeiture list. Bet it would be more fun than a squad car.

Here, hit Wheezer!(Steel Magnolias) Laughter through tears (tragedy) is a good thing guys, lighten up. I'm pretty sure an intelligent person knows they were just interjecting a dab of humor in a dark situation. It makes the world go 'round just a little bit better.

BLACKHAWK down!!! You need humor in a situation like that!!!

Now, that's funny! I don't care who you are! What a moment of levity in a very serious situation. May God richly bless you all!

Gee, They're still using analog

He should have put a boot on the tire.

I wonder where the person "claiming police experience" got the idea that a parking ticket should have a court date.

Is this what a "street" looks like in Colorado?

He should become an instructor and teach his officers to be a little more human and forgiving. There's no sense of humour or understanding in cops anymore.

I used to fly Blackhawks and have also flown medical evacuation in the Army. Guess I don't see the humor. As a military pilot facing risky decisions in these situations, you don't usually see the humor as others would. Instead you know you are going to have to explain you actions to your superiors who generally view you as guilty of violating some policy or regulation until you can prove yourself innocent. Hate to see the world this way, but have been on the accused end of numerous unfortunate events that come with 14 years of flying in the military. Each time was ultimately vindicated, but at what cost.
