Father Takes Son To First Day Of School In Helicopter!!!

Talk about a grand entrance! The Associated Press is reporting that a Florida man is being investigated by the FAA after taking his son to school in a helicopter.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Bart Sutherin rented a helicopter to take his 14-year-old son, Joseph, to his first day of school at East Ridge High. Why fly? The senior Sutherin was hoping the high flying antics would "make a positive impression on the other students," reports the Orlando Sentinel.

Unfortunately, the wild ride didn't impress everyone. Sutherin, who has a pilot's license, neglected to inform the school and local officials of his plans. The Orlando Sentinel reports that a deputy with the Lake County Sheriff's office who was stationed at the school called the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA is now looking into the matter.

At least one person was pleased with the landing. "It wasn't something everyone did every day," Joseph Sutherin told an Orlando Sentinel reporter. "It would be extraordinary, and I could say, 'Yeah, I flew into the school in a helicopter.'"

The school's principal, David E. Cunningham, told the Orlando Sentinel he's doubtful that many people even saw the landing since it occurred in an area cleared of students.

Hummm sounds like the principal is hating just a lil bit there!
