Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

I've been in a helicopter once. I had to go to a rig in the gulf. At first I was petrified but after I got the attitude of "**** it what happens happens" it was pretty wild.
My first ride was in a LA Nat. Guard Huey about 35 years ago. I was taking photos of the hurricane cleanup for their newsletter (long story.) I was in the rear gunner seat snapping pictures with my 35 mm and changing film when they went into a circling dive to see something close up. I looked straight out the door and saw trees getting closer and realized I was hanging by my harness. I put my head back down and focused on loading the camera.
 
I would try a train. I wouldn't be opposed to that so long as it's a real rain and not a subway train. Good movie too
NYC subways were Great 15 years ago. Not sure about today but that based on rumors.

We took the train to NYC back then. It was beautiful but 38 hours. Take the sleeping car if it's a long trip but then it cost as much as flying.
 
May break my bones but words can be the A bomb.

Honestly, maybe it's me being an old fashioned chicken, but I'd rather walk almost anywhere if I reasonably could. Or ride a horse if I had to, but planes, boats, cars, I don't trust any of then
I won't anymore. Those Cessna, piper type private airplanes are so small. Some you're literally touching shoulders. They're really small. The helicopter kobe Bryant died in is a badass helicopter. The pilot should not have taken off. There's an airport here where all the rich folk house and fly thier aircraft out of about 40 min from me. They do day and night plane rides that would probably be pretty cool but if it's not an A10 warthog I'm not interested
