Just messing with you. Thanks. I don't feel young in any way, too many miles and scars accumulated, physically and otherwise.

"Cracker Fly In" - LOLZ. How so un-PC. Ha ha.
Had a chance to fly on the Nine-O-Nine B17 years ago, but the couple hundred dollar fee was too steep for a youngster (then). Still was awfully cool to climb around inside.
Seems you got a heck of bargain on your ride!

This was about the highest we went, a wide view of the northeast Georgia area:
Hard banking to the right, looking straight out (down), seems like you can reach out and touch the barn:

Very cool. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Very cool! Great pictures, thanks for sharing. I have only been in a helicopter once about 15 years ago. My wife and I went to her sister's wedding in Gatlinburg, took a scenic tour around the Smoky Mountains and the Gatlinburg area while we were there. Awesome views! I'd love to go do it again sometime. They didn't do any cool banks or zigging and zagging though, that would have been icing on the cake

Actually I was shocked that the pilots did what they did. Apparently that was normal for those flights, they've done it many years. We did have to sign the liability forms. But in this age of sue everybody for everything over nothing, I was surprised that first the flew just like they flew the troops with the doors open and they did all those cool manuevers. A regular sight seeing tour helicopter would have never done that.

Yeah that had to be way cool having the doors open and getting the whole experience like that. We just rode in one of the "fish bowl" looking choppers that had a see through floor. I'd like to find a place to do what you got to do, definitely something to put on the bucket list to do.

Reason for that is because of the insurance for it. When they are on a set scenic flight plan they have a certain set of things are required to do for that. & I really supposed to deviate from it. Go charter one by the hour, and they will do anything you want, but that is why the rate is so much higher too. Different set of rules, so to speak. At least that's the schpeel I got from a guy that was a tour pilot.

Damn, that is cool. I have not flown on a Huey in over 30 years, I bet it was fun.
