How to fly in a helicopter
It made me
Exhilirated
 "I've done it twice - Once in Central Australia and another time on Maui"
How I did it: Both times I've done this I was on vacation. In Australia I saw a brochure and thought it would be fun. It was a half-hour flight that let you see Ayer's Rock and the Olgas from the air. Very memorable! Lessons & tips: If you get motion sickness be sure to take some dramamine or use a scopolamine patch. Helicopters tend to be much more susceptible to wind buffeting.

As part of some corporate awards thing in Las Vegas, one of the things we had the option to do was a full tour via helicopter. Jumped right on that.
The flight took off from the Las Vegas airport, went out over Lake Las Vegas, the Hoover (Boulder) dam, up the Grand Canyon and landed on a little bluff deep inside the canyon. We had a champagne picnic there and then flew back with a run down the strip.
Out of a group of about 25, only one person got motion sickness. If you are prone to that, I’d stay away, but otherwise, game on!

I’ve done this. I freaked. I don’t remember when I did it though. I believe it was in Wisconsin Dells.
My parents have a video tape of me like screaming mostly through the whole tour. LOL.

I posted about my first time touring Hawaii’s Big Island but we did it a second time…a year ago near Queenstown, New Zealand. They dropped just the two of us on a mountain peak with a picnic lunch on a blanket, a 2-way radio, a couple of jackets (in case it got chilly), and a superb view for a few hours …unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

Did this several times in Germany, and most recently from Monaco to Nice Airport (Heli Air Monaco) this past weekend. What a thrilling way to spend 7 minutes of your life over the Mediterranean.

My husband and I splurged on a helicopter tour of Kauai, when we were there on our honeymoon. There were loads of helicopter companies from which to choose. We chose the one that the owner of the bed and breakfast where we stayed recommended; she sends her grandkids on Air Kauai regularly. Good enough (safe enough) for us! It was amazing.
