Kfir “Leo” Baranes is shown at the Lantana Airport on Friday, Aug. 16, 2019. Baranes landed a helicopter in a Coral Springs backyard to surprise a friend at her 45th birthday party. Then he had to fight city prosecutors who wanted to cite him $500 for violating a code that prevents people from taking off or landing aircraft outside of an airport or heliport.
