How I did it: I was at a small air show where helicopter rides were offered. Since literally hundreds of people signed up to do it, we ended up waiting about an hour and then gave up.

It was a blast. Probably not so much fun if you’re afraid of heights or subject to motion sickness, but I’m neither and had a great time.

When I was I don’t know, 4 or 5, I went on a helicopter ride with my Dad. Apparantly, since I can’t quite remember, the pilot asked how we were all doing and we all replied, and almost right after he dropped the helicopter STRAIGHT down and stopped inches above a river. I guess I peed my pants from the scare. LOL.
