Very cool Ollie,

If you make it down this way I will see if I can get you some time in a Bell 47 that belongs to a friend. Nothing like a vertical take-off

Very nice. Most of the way through High School I wanted to fly helicopters. I'm envious. Good Job.

Oh, Bell 47, eh?

That would be sweet!!

Although I have a very soft spot for the R22 Beta! :lol:

Flying helicopters is wierd, but fun. If you ever can justify it, go for it and then buy a Huey Cobra!

Heh, but with a hind your can bring not only the beer, but the BBQ as well. Plus a selection of scantily clad women. The ultimate RV (short of a soundproofed and luxury refitted C-17)

You can do that in a Huey, and in a Cobra, you can attach all that on the stub wings!!

I guess you can do that in a D model, a C might be a little tight. As for the Cobra, I don't think the girls would like being strapped to the stub wings (you know we ain't risking the beer out there)

But the C-17 makes that wooshing sound, surely the ultimate RV would be a soundproofed C-97, or better yet XC-99.
