My first eggbeater flight!!

[Theis]

My ride for today
     

A beautiful R44
     

Nice VC in this chopper!
     

Our campingplace (alot of caravans!!)
     

the crowd on the ground
     

Bye bye, dear chopper
     

When I was waiting to fly in the chopper, I said: All we miss now is a Saab Gripen. And 2 seconds later, two Saab Gripen flew by!!


It was a really short, and a really good flight!

Cheers Theis

Seems like fun!!

Sweet shots Theis, but does anybody else find the alitimeter reading in the 3rd shot a little unnerving - or am I going blind, VS 300fpm, KIAS 42, ALT 0.

OMG!  THEIS!  You survived a crash and the helicopter survived too!

You are so lucky, youve flown on a DC-3 and now a HELICOPTER!

Ummm... it's a helicopter...

Great pics, although that VC is a bit "blurry out of the box"...

I've only taken one chopper ride (in an old Enstrom). It's different, all right!

No, not the KIAS, look at the altitude - the whirlybird is has clearly left the ground, by about 40ft I'd say - yet the altimeter hasn't moved.

Nice one Theis.

Maybe his home airfield is a tad higher. I'm not sure that conventional altimeters are that accurate near the ground anyway. Been a long time since I had to worry about things like that.
