If there is enough interest generated, the same helicopter will come out. This time, you pay a few bucks, you get a ride, the pilot logs hours. Please post and we'll work out the details as far as what the pilot thinks it'll cost.

That would be something different, would like to see anna from above....
I'm down for a ride in a hellicopter. Never done that before!
Yes interested
more info........
i want to fly it. Just like the German WWII submarine that i went on one day in Alexandria....
"can i fire a Torpedo?"
'nein'
"can i shoot the machine gun on the deck?"
'nien'
"can i see the diesel engine room?"
'Fick sie, du miserabler hurensohn, erlisch'
I will do it, i will pay to do it. The pilot and crew gave me permission to touch any part, and explained ( at least as much as i could understand) all parts of the engine, flight controls, maintenance, and personal experiences with that craft. Henry was willing to tell me more, even. One of the many, many highlights at Jacks.
Put me down for a ride.....but only if I can go BEFORE miketsouth!!! :rollside:
Be good, Jim
It is interesting that you guys want to fly in something that has no visible means of support!
While you're getting ready to go for your ride, you can discuss these topics with the pilot and get his opinion on them. It'll show him that you've done your homework.....
The basic difference between and airplane and a helicopter is that an airplane wants to fly.
Helicopters don't really fly. They're so ugly the earth repels them.
Nothing in the world looks more unfinished than a helicopter.
Helicopters don't fly, they beat the air into submission.
What's the difference between an Eastern Bloc helicopter and a NATO one?
Eastern Bloc helicopters have ejection seats.
Definition of "helicopter": A million parts rotating rapidly around an oil leak waiting for metal fatigue to set in.
Also known as "an unnatural form of levitation".
Q: what's the cheapest way to get a helicopter?
A: buy an acre of land and wait!
To sum it up, airplane pilots and helicopter pilots have some things in common- but it could best be described as jet boat owners vs. wacker owners. (notice I kept v-drive owners out of that comparison....! )
How did this turn into the WIRLYBIRD VS THE WINGED WARRIOR :argue:
Some funny sh!t.

Instant inference to the difference between helicopters and women: (no i do not expect to live to see the replies to this one)
1. A helicopter will kill you quickly . . . a woman takes
her time.
2. Helicopters can be turned on by a flick of a switch.
3. A helicopter does not get mad if you 'touch and go.'
4. A helicopter does not object to a preflight inspection.
5. Helicopters come with manuals.
6. Helicopters have strict weight and balance limits.
7. You can fly a helicopter any time of the month.
8. Helicopters don't come with in-laws.
9. Helicopters don't whine unless something is really
wrong.
10. Helicopters don't care about how many other helicopters
you have flown.
11. When flying, you and your helicopter both arrive at the
same time.
12. Helicopters don't mind if you look at other helicopters,
or if you buy helicopter magazines.
13. It's OK to use tie-downs on your helicopter
Helicopters don't actually fly; they're just so ugly that the Earth repels them.
