Booked a Barossa helicopter flight for the 24th of Oct, the day before my birthday, might save some people some money.

I'd go up in one. It'd be a good fight before hand and some people would get hurt, but I'd eventually succumb and get put on it.

You'll be fine mate.

I mean, a perspex fish bowl with a lawnmower engine and a fan strapped to it should be fine to get you up to 3000 feet in the air.

A colleague went a couple of weeks ago, I had til today to use my Great State voucher so I got a flight for two for $200 all up.

Pretty decent deal and the voucher is for an "experience".

Mate at work said he did the same thing, I think it went over the Grampians too, around an hour flight for $550 each.

Many years ago we did one at Kings Canyon and was the old bush style chopper. No doors and just a lap belt, the old geezer flying it must have had flashbacks from ‘nam because he had the thing rocking and rolling through the canyon. I absolutely loved it
