How to fly a helicopter by LukeBaileybrown

"Difficult, but made me feel like a kid again"

How I did it: I cheated some what. I bought a remote controlled helicopter of Ebay. It arrived a few days later and I began to fly this little model around my garden. It was the cheapest alternative I could find to the real thing!

It took me
3 months
It made me
feel high

How I did it: My poems are always about flying and helicopters. So when i had my 24th birthday, my boyfriend gave me a wonderful experience that i experienced not only in my poems but in real life too!  Well, it was just amazing having to chance to take the controls and the best part- being able to fly it! (oh well, with a pilot haha, but i already had flying lessons so i was a bit hard headed) Read how I did it…

    I’ve been skydiving and flown a plane (AWESOME!!!) but I’ve never even been in a helicopter. My dad bought his wife a helicopter flying lesson once and it looked amazing. I can’t wait to make this dream a reality.

    Helicopters are great aren’t they?

    You can land anywhere, hide behind buildings and surprise your friends, carry the shopping in the back.

    I want one, but I need a few million pounds first.

    what’s the cheapest way of doing this in the UK? Even if it’s only a 30 minute lesson or something.

    I want to fly a helicopter one day. I think it would be amazing to fly out durring a hurricane and rescue people in the ocean. The air just makes me feel so free because it is one of the last places people havent developed. You cant tame the air. You can catch it and use it to your advantage, but never tame it.

    flying a helicopter, is my ultimae goal. Why? because it is hugely exciting, and a great way to ear a living. i am going to work for either the Westpac helicopter rescue service or the police, to help others. Otherwise,flying guests to beautifull New Zealand locations.
