Have you been in a helicopter?

[Mixedupworld]

Aged 16 I went on a 5 minute pleasure flight in Orlando. We flew over discovery cove and saw the dolphins.

I was air lifted to hospital when I was 19. I was in and out of consciousness and don't remember much at all.

A few. Several different types of military helicopter (when I was in the TA). One over the Grand Canyon.

Yes, I abseiled out of it too.

Yes, at one stage I did for work. Must admit to thinking it was the coolest thing ever when I started. Haven’t been on one for years now.

Yes, I won a trip in a helicopter a few years ago. Hate airplanes, bloody love helicopters!

Yes. From Vegas to the Grand Canyon.

Was wonderful.

Yes, I was helicoptered into silverstone Grand Prix.

Yes, I was scared! But got some lovely photos of mount cook, New Zealand.

Yes, I got a helicopter from Nice airport to a hotel in Monaco.

Yes, over Niagara Falls. It was amazing.

Yes and a Chinnook. Suffer from bad travel sickness so didn’t really enjoy either but didn’t want to pass up the opportunity

No, I narrowly missed a flight in the Air Ambulance as I was too far on in labour than they thought. DS was born not long after

yes down the vegas strip at night for about 20 mins

All sorts fairly constantly for the last 25 years, quite a cool way to travel sometimes and see some unusual places but I've been involved in a few near misses / very unpleasant flights (mostly due to weather conditions) and had to deal with the aftermath of a few coming down unexpectedly.

Yep on my wedding day from church to venue. Kind of landed when the other wedding was doing their photos and all their guests came over to see us land. Other bride was not very happy

Yes. Best was over Kakadu national park, Northern Territory, Australia with the doors off!

Yep was airlifted and all ‘ bondaged up ‘ following a riding accident to hospital - all ok now though .

Yes- DH and I got a flight around our city 20 years ago.

Yes - I have a private helicopter licence!

Yes, pleasure flight over New York about 20 years ago

Yes, from Kathmandu to Lukla because the planes were all cancelled due to the clouds. I think when we got up there, perhaps the helicopter flights should have been cancelled too! Didn’t enjoy it at all, bit scary, but the Everest Valley was totally worth it.

Yes an evening trip over the Vegas strip. It was amazing 🤩

Yes, through the Alps. it was spectacular but I was terrified!

Yes. It was a great experience, but made me feel quite travel sick so wouldn't have liked more than the hour I had.

No and it’s a mode of transport I will actively avoid.

As a child I had nightmares about them chopping down washing lines/chopping up people as they fell from the sky.

At least if a plane engine fails, other engines/wings can compensate.

Yes .
5 minutes over the Village Fete .
Grand Canyon and LV Strip on New Years Eve was amazing. Super cool pilot played great music - peaked with Free Bird full blast as we went over the rim .
London along the Thames from Battersea to almost London City Airport .
Dull dull dull pilot so not so much fun .
