They weren't waving for help! Due to the slow forward velocity of the twin-rotored monster, the bird easily caught up with our proud heroes and decided to alight on the fuselage for a quick rest. The loadie was slightly concerned lest the bird enter the fueslage and attempt to make off with his huge supply of food stored down the back for the long (hour and a half) sortie. Consequently, the crew made a precautionary landing in the field and were attempting to shoo the bird away.
