i hadn't had a chance to try out any heli's in 2004 yet so i thought i would take a sightseeing tour around Oahu.

Nice!  I like the sailboats.  Really adds a touch of realism.  Now just waiting for the farmer to run out and yell about landing on his rutabagas!

nice shots.. is it tough flying helis ?on gta its pretty easy now that I have learned...

[ruekesj]

strait forward cruising in a heli is just like flying a 172,  but slow speed manuvering, ya know what heli's are really good at, sideways backwards and stuff takes some practice.

I tried learning it a few days ago, and let me tell you from a begginers view, its difficult!  Taking off and getting going is easy, you just throttle up and pitch forward a tad.  But landing is nearly impossible!  I crashed about thirty times before I actually got 'er on the ground!  After about twenty tries I managed to get to the ground without smashing into something but then proceeded to bounce about the runway something awful!!

Try it, but don't give up.  I kept doing it until I got it right, and managed to finally get the hang of it, and now I can fly around an airport and land the Bell without screwing up.
