Holy ****, I got to fly a $3.5 million helicopter today. It was the coolest thing I have EVER done. Im at a loss for words to describe it. It was unbelievable. Flying at nearly 140 mph 75 feet off the ground is nuts. My dad was a helicopter pilot in the army, but I was still young when he retired 9 years ago. He used to fly that fast 15 feet off the ground. Now that is nuts. This was by far the coolest thing I have ever done!



Heres some pics.

I don tknow if anyone here has ever been in a helicopter, but the feeling is so awesome. Talk about total freedom. Taking off is so cool. Just seeing the helicopter tilt 60 degrees forward, and climb and accelerate at the same time is unbelievable.

have you seen the 13b powered helecopter on eBay?

There is no comparing a plane to a helicopter. The feeling of total freedom in every direction is incredible. And take offs are a rush. I cant even explain how much different than a plane it is, and how much cooler helicopters are. Planes are cool, helicopters are the ****!!!

Dude, kick ass! I'm jelouse!
