Helicopters Everywhere

I took the picture. A helicopter was circling overhead.

Lately, every time there is a news update, the sounds of a helicopter fills the air. They are there for disasters, car chases, accidents, breaking news, or whatever. I am in the wrong business. I should learn to pilot a helicopter and I would always be busy working. I would get to see things from a bird's eye view. Does anyone have a good, used helicopter to give me? Did you ever fly one or want to?

I have never put my foot on a helicopter and I have no intention to do. I alike airplanes, even small planes, but not helicopters.

@akalinus I thought yesterday that helicopters are not safe while I was typing and a helicopter crashed during the evening in the UK in front of a Stadium. We do not know for the moment how many victims.

@LadyDuck I saw a photo of the crash but did not get information. Did it fall on people trying to get in or what? That is terrible.

I don't like flying at all. I have no control over what happens. I have flown a number of times and always said I wanted to walk the next time.

I never fly on helicopters but on planes for 2-3 times. I heard that travel on helicopter feeling is slightly scary than planes.

I hate looking at the open space on helicopters. What if you fall out?

You could also avoid all the traffic with an helicopter! Sorry,that I don't have one to give you. Have you checked at the airport?

No, actually I can barely keep a car on the road and not the ditch. It would not matter with a helicopter. Think of all the money I can make because some guy robbed a bank and tried to run.

@akalinus You could start a whole new business, pick up a crook when they are on the lam. I'm sure crooks will appreciate that kind of service.

@1hopefulman That's funny. I never thought of a getaway helicopter.

It sounds like an exciting job. My late X had a friend who was a pilot and took us up and allowed us to take the controls for a few minutes. It whet my appetite to be a pilot.

You mean you don't want to be a pilot? It is a good thing you did not pull the wrong lever.

@just4him I misunderstood. So you pull a lever and it goes down. So you push the other way and it shoots up and hits a jet plane? What's not to like.

@akalinus Contrary. I would love to be a pilot. All those controls fascinated me.

Well, neither do I. But there are always so many, that some people have them and know how to fly them.

That is interesting. Would you be scared to do that? I would be.
