My dear Hubby and I were out and about yesterday, when we saw this little helicopter....
When I heard the pilot was offering rides.....my first thought was YES!
Anyone else want to join me?
Just a tiny little area in front of the seat, all "glass", so up close for sure!
The day was clear and bright, so we could see quite a distance.
Beautiful North Carolina greenery!
I would love to learn to fly one of these guys!.....if not for learning what all these mean and more!
I imagine it is quite the process to learn to operate a helicopter!
I loved it!....can I go again????
I had no idea when I woke up in the morning I was going to be enjoying my first helicopter ride!
Off to solder some more...I am really enjoying the learning process as well as the creative.
What are you up to this weekend?
Hugs,
Terri

What a neat experience!
I don't think I will ever get the chance to do that - so glad you have been given it.
That must have truly been thrilling!
Sounds like great fun! Valerie
Terri, you are a brave soul. The only way I would ever get into an helicopter would be for a matter of life and death! I am afraid of heights.
That is why we have the word serendipity. ;-) What a wonderful weekend and opportunity. I bet you loved it!
I really like your city. I almost moved there a few years ago. One thing I really liked was that you don't see ugly street signs. Even the McDonalds didn't have unsightly yellow arches!
Ohhh wow that looks like a lot of fun. can you send the pilot over please lol.
Have a lovely week
hugs June x
You were SO brave! I know how much you'd love to learn to fly, Terri. And it seems that this helicopter was in the right place at the right time! I'm SOOOOO proud of you and you look darned cute in the cockpit!

Looks like FUN! I'd love to fly above the South Platte River to Greeley. Lots of ranch land between here and there to see.♥♫
I had to come check this out! That sounds like so much fun! I'm so glad you're having a blast!
hugs

Looks like fun. And the fact it was un-expected must have made your day. The world certainly looks different from up high doesn't it? My hubby works on military choppers and regularly goes up on test flights....once a yr the spouses and children can go for rides too. It's always such fun.
How brave of you, I'm yet to conquer my fear of flying!
My weekend's been crazy...so much to do, so little time! Renovations, gardening, family time, community time, but enjoying it all.
Looks like fun Terri, you are my kind of woman, lol. With the exceptions of church and laundry calling me, I have been , yep ATC's Downton Abbey, sure no one else is joining, wish we had more gals as these are too fun, love the subject alone and only 3 required well I guess I'll have to make extras just for fun, let me know if the amt. of ATC's changes:) Hugs and Happy crafting and creating! Marilou
I am still in the fear of flying club also, but yay for you!!! How wonderful!
Oh, you are one brave and adventurous lady Terri!! Looks like you had fun though.
Oh my gosh, Terri! How wonderful! And how adventurous! AND how great that you had your camera with you!!
My first thought was it was some guy needing a couple hostages as he fled the authorities...
Whoa! What fun for you. Some believe there are no accidents, so this might be the hint you needed to now pursue flying and perhaps owning your own helicopter.
As for soldering, I cannot fathom your needing any more practice. You're already there, I'd say!
WOW! Talk about sieze the moment...you really did. How exciting and brave. The photos really tell how much you truly enjoyed this experience. Good for you my dear...
Hi Terri,
What a great day you had. See one never knows what to expect! I don't know if I would go for a ride with a stranger though.
Hi Terri, Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Last summer while on vacation on Oregon we did the same thing, my daughter in law and I went up. (My husband and son's have done it several times), I loved it, better than flying on a plane, we went along the Oregon coast. It was so smooth and I loved all the glass to see the scenery. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Terri
You're braver than I! Glad you had a great time.
