Cleared For Takeoff or Landing??

I blew a bunch of trash out of some guy's truck the other day because he parked right next to a hospital pad. Park at your own risk.
 
The sign speaks for itself,however how many people will heed the warning?
 
If you had listened to ATIS you'd already know about the winds. As for parking, well, I guess that means the ramp is uncontrolled. ;)

Parkview Hospital for many decades was unto itself - Advent Christian facility - but in recent years has become a satellite campus of the much larger Midcoast Hospital, a couple miles distant. I went there today for blood work follow-up to Friday's X-rays of my knee. Surprise! Outpatient and Lab facilities are closed on Sat/Sun; thus the empty parking lot. And there's no well-marked Heli-pad such as at Midcoast Hospital. I couldn't pass up re the sign.

Not sure if you knew I was joking... I work at a medical lab, and we work 24/7 no ifs, ands or butts. I'm at work right now, actually.

;o)) Here's one of my shots of the Parkview Hospital. There's more of the campus - church and residential facilities - Medical Offices - in the original image but, also 35 MB. And now I see the heli-pad; less visible when in a motor vehicle.
 
Here's the larger Midcoast Hospital into which Parkview was absorbed.DSC05476 (2 Dig. Proof).JPG Nearby is the Bowdoin College campus. The last image is Bowdoin's Farley Field House, named after its benefactor, alumnus William Farley(Fruit of the Loom icon).

Pretty hospital. Wouldn't mind flying into something like that.
