ryan1990 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I got to fly around OKC in a helicopter tonight. A guy from church fly's one of the police choppers everynight and tonight me, my dad and my little brother got to go up with him for about an hour and a half. It was so cool. We wore headsets so we could talk to each other. That would be the coolest job ever. He works 8 days then gets 6 off and all he has to do on those 8 days is fly a freakin helicopter.

Griz Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: helicopter ride That's great Ryan... Those things are pretty awesome... Every year the State Trappers fly one around here. I know the guys that do this and one time they landed and took me for a ride. It was something else that's for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bruteshooter Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: helicopter ride Ryan, check out the Marine Corps when you are older and learn to fly them. Then get a job with law enforcement or DNR flying theirs. Glad you enjoyed it. PS: Did it have doors on it or open sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: helicopter ride Got to ride in a helicopter a few times while in the service. It's pretty cool. Wife wimped out on me out in Hawaii, but I wanted to ride one out there over the volcano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: helicopter ride My girlfriend's dad has a small 2 seater Robinson helicopter. Its in immaculate condition - and he flies it all the time, especially during summer and fall. I usually go for about 10 rides a year. Its a blast, glad you got to experience it!

Exturkinator Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: helicopter ride I take the AirCare helicopters around the state as the need arises - I agree that it's pretty cool, but I don't think they are quite as safe as a fixed wing (helicopters can't glide!) and every time I strap in I find myself wondering if my bride and babies will be OK if I go down in some field or something...

Randy Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: helicopter ride I'd like to take a ride over my hunting land while we have snow on the ground. It would be neat to see where all the "Big Guys" hang out all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUTSIDER Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: helicopter ride Until you've rode in a Blackhawk in a warzone and lived to talk about it you've done nothing. They are cool to ride in, personally i like to keep my feet on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
