What a wonderful series. I envy you the experience. I've never been up in a chopper. The last time I was up in a single engine airplane, a bolt on the crank shaft broke and riddled the engine. We had to make a crash landing. Haven't even thought of going up in a single engine since. I don't know if I could get over this and go up in a chopper or not.
I was real nervous at first because I had never been in a chopper. But our pilot was very good at making us all feel at ease and did a great preview of all the safety features on the chopper in a video prior to boarding and again once we boarded the chopper. By time we lifted off my fears seemed to have disappeared. I would definitely do it again.
