Gone Flyin'

So I got my first Helicopter ride today. It was fantastic, a beautiful day. Mostly its like going on a slow plane ride. You have a great view of what's going on in front of you and to the side. We were out on an turned-over Airstream trailer.. blocking all two lanes of the interstate.
They aren't really as fast as you think though.. only going about 100-115 miles an hour. Also interesting, they can land without engine power; it all has to do with tilting right.. and pushing air through the blades as you go down.

Very Cool.
