Because he landed in a helicopter in front of an ice cream parlor to buy an ice cream cake, a man in Canada now has to answer to court. The 34-year-old landed in his helicopter in the middle of the small town of Tisdale in the central Canadian province of Saskatchewan in a busy parking lot at the end of July, according to the responsible police department. During the landing, dust and debris were thrown up.
A woman then got out of the helicopter, went into the local branch of an ice cream parlor chain and bought an ice cream cake – “so it was not an emergency landing”.
The 34-year-old pilot, who lives in a town about an hour and a half away by car, has a license to fly the helicopter, but was not allowed to land in the parking lot, the police said. That is why the man who had “raised the desire for ice cream to a new level” will now have to answer to the court in September. (SDA)
