    Question DHL Chopper over Coney

    On Sat., July 5, a DHL chopper continually circled over Coney beach in the early afternoon. A guy was perched on some sort of contraption, which ressembed skiis, outside the door taking lots of photos. What was going on?

    Maybe some news outlet rented it to take pictures of the holiday beach crowd, assuming DHL wasn't using it to fly packages on the holiday weekend.
