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.Lightning McQueen wrote:Booked a Barossa helicopter flight for the 24th of Oct, the day before my birthday, might save some people some money.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

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".

Re: Things that you are looking forward to
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 itmighty_tiger_79 wrote:Did the chopper over 12 apostles years ago.Jim05 wrote:I know the operators well and have done several flights with them.Booney wrote:I'd go up in one.
