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.









Damn, I had such an awesome time today. I will be getting to fly it again in a few days, I cant wait!

It was awesome. I cant wait until friday! I pick up my 89 TII in the morning, and get to fly that again in the evening



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.

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 ****!!!
