If I could only afford flight school.....That would be a nice new hobby for me! It was really nice - pretty quiet. Real small cabin but very "executive" looking. I kept staring at what I thought was the bar. That would be real cool to fly around and have a little party in there :2thumbs:

It was meant for my old boss but he left to go to MIT for a year so I got his seat - it was a fun day!

Riding in a copter is fun, like a roller coaster without the track. Glad you had fun.

More enjoyable to be in the front! :2thumbs:
76's are nice and smooth.

Looks cool. Would bring back memories for my father when he worked there.

We had one @ Mc Dermotts HD giving rides during Americade. That pilot was one sick b:cus:d!!! He buzzed the trailer a few times and scared the crap right out of me!!!:roflblack:
