I have always wished for a ride too! A ‘flip’ was the closest I got and I LOVED it! Not sure I could stomach a copter ride though… Gorgeous pics, Col!

I keep hearing euphemisms for this machine . . . let me spell it out . . . it’s a brick with delusions of flying.

My neuro owns a helicopter and he proudly displays a picture of it in his office. They are pretty amazing things, I’m always in awe when I see one

Incredible the way they work. I had a radio-controlled model which gave me great fun in learning to manoeuvre it.

One of my all time favourite things – helicopters (although I must admit I’ve never thought of them as big fans 🙂 ). Best go off to yesterdays post to see what the caption thing is all about.

Great shots and caption Col. Just like you I’ll stick to taking the photo’s…not riding in one of them. I love mother earth too much..hehehe

Fantastic post: I love helicopters and can never get enough of them. Was it near your home? You live in a colourful world, Col!

We did a helicopter tour over the Badlands of North Dakota several years ago. Such a great way to fly ~ zooming in to take a closer look, zooming out to get the panoramic view.
But, oh, the noise, noise, noise, noise, noise. 😯

Lovely pics, Col. I’ve only been in a helicopter once, and that was over Vic Falls. Worth every penny and arms and legs too. 🙂

Didn’t you read the bit where I said voting for self was fine? I’m sure you would only if you thought it was genuinely better than the others.

Yes, but someone giving me permission to be who I am not does not change my behavior.
