Come fly with me....

Back to being in Texas. This year the Heli-Expo was held in downtown Houston. The Heli-expo is an international helicopter convention, and all the big name helicopter companies were there. Of course, I, maybe like you, didn't know any of them. Nor did I know how varied helicopters really were. I was thoroughly impressed! I am sure you are all wondering why I went to a heli-expo. Yeah, I would too. My friend Janitha is a helicopter flight instructor. So she let me join her in her adventures. Thank You Janitha!!!!



The helicopter below was the "all impressive" Euro-copter. Bigger than life, I tell you!!! It could hold about 20 people or more. Apparently they had an unveiling of it earlier with all the drama that goes with an unveiling. There was smoke, special effects, da-da-DAAAAA kind of music and everything. Very, very cool.




















Wow. Thick manual. Glad I don't have to read it. Hope the pilots actually do....




A "vintage" helicopter.























Way cool. It's good to be me and have helicopter adventures. Thanks for flying the friendly skies with me!
