A helicopter pilot hoping to satiate cravings for ice cream cake by landing directly outside a Dairy Queen got a sour surprise last week when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) charged him with making an illegal landing.

The unnamed pilot, who was licensed to legally operate the helicopter but not to land it outside the Tisdale, Saskatchewan ice cream shop, was charged with one count of dangerous operation of an aircraft on August 4, according to an RCMP release. The landing, taking place in "a high traffic parking lot," was made around 5 p.m. on July 31. RCMP says that "the helicopter blew up dust and debris through the area, which includes schools, an aquatic centre and more."

After the helicopter landed, a passenger immediately got out and quickly headed to the Dairy Queen to purchase the ice cream cake. While no details were released concerning the identity of the passenger, RCMP said the pilot is 34-year-old man who lives in Leroy, Saskatchewan?which is located about 105 kilometers, or 65 miles, away from the Dairy Queen. Leroy does not have its own Dairy Queen location.

I personally see zero issue with this. Delicious ice cream cake...yuuuuuum.

I always get my ice cream cakes from Baskin Robbins. Why couldn't this guy land at an airport and uber to Dairy Queen?!

If I had a helicopter, I'd be landing that thing at ALL of my favorite spots. I commend this dude.

Did he land in the park lot?

Pfft this guy. The height of laziness. There is a whole bunch of easy-to-make recipes out on the internet these days, no excuse not to roll up your sleeves and make your own. Though if I owned a helicopter and a pilot's license I might be singing a different song.

Welcome! I love your choice for a first thread to comment on. Happy to have you here!

I think the concept is pretty funny, but if he landed in that parking lot as the article suggests, he put people at risk. He should have landed in the park across the street.

Here's the scene of the crime:

Too many trees in the park to land a helicopter...and that would take another minute or two to get the ice cream cake!

Plus. Could you imagine trying to keep an ice cream cake steady so it doesn't get completely fucked up by the time you get it home? I can't do that shit in a car, much less a helicopter. Anything written on top always ends up in an alphabet smoosh. In a helicopter it would end up looking like like a Picasso. Unless that's the esthetic you're going for. Then it works, but there are easier ways to achieve that without having to use a helicopter.
