A few days ago, my dream became reality.
I loved it. I can say now that I prefer helicopters over airplanes. What a great experience. This is why I am here. How many jobs have you had where part of your duties entail getting in a helicopter to get from one location to the next? Me neither but I do now!
I'm already looking forward to my next helicopter ride. I'm hoping it's a tad longer next time. What fun!
It was interesting to me to discover that the seat I chose would have been the gunners seat during war times. My Dad was a gunner. On a much different kind of helicopter though.
Here are a few pictures I got while we were passing over:

Baby, that's pretty much that same aircraft your dad would have flown in Vietnam. It's a UH1, which is a Vietnam era aircraft. They where fazed out of active duty in the early ninety's.
I thought he was in one of those giant choppers with the two sets of blades like they fly over Helena all the time.
I guess I don't really know. Wow, that chopper I was in seems so small to be taking into a war.
I'm so jealous...
