Burning Man 2009: Look! Up In The Sky!

So in our last post we showed you the future of Burning Man 2010 and in this post we'll show you the past at Burning Man 2009. This video documents a helicopter towing an advertising banner across the sky on Saturday afternoon.

According to the Burning Man website the helicopter "did not land or take off from our strip, and the pilot did not reply to radio calls. Outraged Burners contacted the business owner post-event. He has promised to never do it again and is now much more knowledgeable about Burning Man culture's, do's and don'ts."

It sounds to me like the dude thought it was better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. But whatever. Remember: no advertising is permitted at Burning Man and logos are frowned upon. Unless it happens to be the Burning Man logo! )'(
