@McDonalds I just sent it. Thank you!

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

@McDonalds please explain how I go to the store on Rt 1 in Edison, NJ, using the app, pull up to the board, they process my order, pull up to the window and THEN tell me they are out of Iced tea. I ask for my money back but they won’t because I used the app? They gave me a water.

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

@splitzy89 @McDonalds Unfortunately there is not. They have done it this way before and @McDonalds has stopped responding (it appears they have also removed their previous response saying we’d have it starting 11/17) 😢

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

@McDonalds Why am I being punished for living in the Northeast??? A local radio station even ran a story about the return of the McRib and today I find there are none in this area. Not cool McDonald’s!

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

Is there anything worse for the chopper guy than having weather issues impact him on what is one of the worst traffic days of the year? Looks like #chopper2 and I will be stuck inside for a while (look at the reflection and you can see we are not alone). @CBSNewYork

@McDonalds Hey @McDonalds …today is the 17th and you said I would find the McRib here in the northeast. Went to the store in Linden and you know what I don’t see? McRib! Only an advertisement that the snack wrap is back. You promised! 😢

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

@McDonalds Phew!!! Can’t wait! The 4 hour drive to the currently nearest McRib was going to be a haul…worth it!…but a haul!!

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

I’m love hear that voice call @Avalanche over at @ballarenadenver …I was hoping we’d hear it booming through @EmpowerField ! Sounded great on @NFLonPrime

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

Weird weather day today…even the sun looked unimpressed! Clouds with little showers hung around as we worked our way up the GSP. We turned to look at the sunset, it oddly looked like a “meh” emoji! @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @LonnieQuinnTV @ScottPadgettCBS @VMurdockTV @JohnElliottTV

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

Wind was a problem yesterday. You can see my hair being moved a little in the picture but we’re good to go today! Taking #SkyFox out for our afternoon flight! @fox5ny

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

Our report last night as crews continued to work on a massive fire on Maple Avenue that started shortly after 7pm. @fox5ny #Skyfox

A late night flight for a terrible situation in Hillside, NJ. A row of businesses up in flames, homes damaged, families displaced and a long night for first responders. We will have updates on @CBSNewYork and from #chopper2

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

A quiet news day for #chopper2, so I thought I would show you some of the sights of the East River looking back at Manhattan! The last two pictures kickoff Gridlock Alert season as the United Nations General Assembly Meeting ramps up! @CBSNewYork @FlyHeliInc

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

The view as I was leaving the airport tonight. The #tributeinlight is always a moving sight. So hard to believe it has been 24 years since that horrific day. @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc #neverforget

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

It’s been a long week but we are back in the main machine! It was nice flying in the “old” #chopper2 but nothing beats flying the regular bird! If you don’t know where to find us just take a look at the second picture! @CBSNewYork @FlyHeliInc

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

Time to take the Big Blue Deuce out for a spin! White puffy clouds on a beautiful blue backdrop will hopefully make for a great ride! @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

Last full week of August so let’s start it off with a cruise around NYC in #SkyFoxHD! @fox5ny @FlyHeliInc

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

Flying over Pelham Manor, looking through the Bronx, you can barely make out the iconic NYC skyline. The haze is as thick as I’ve seen it all summer long! Sometimes the view from my office is not actually NOT all that pretty. @CBSNewYork #chopper2 @FlyHeliInc

[Dan Rice @ChopperDanRice]

I hope this is not an April Fool’s Day joke because this would be really cool over Darlington for Throwback Weekend this weekend!
