If they could come up with a quiet helicopter I'd apply for a traffic reporter job.

One of my flight instructors pointed out sky above you does you no good. Always better to have plenty of sky below you when flying, so flying high is better than staying close to the ground.Taken For Grantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763027485732267570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671939578267528152.post-48205003530040838252012-08-10T20:09:28.056+02:002012-08-10T20:09:28.056+02:00I'm pretty sure I'd like the feeling of fl...I'm pretty sure I'd like the feeling of flying but do not have what it takes to do it. Am guessing the up drafts are the reason this has become so popular and hope they have more responsive control over a parachute than a plane. I agree wity you...would not want my plane this close to mountains. Will have to be content with dreams of flying--exhilarating if not too high.marthainviennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394961204389330577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671939578267528152.post-21699853026787660212012-08-10T18:52:14.299+02:002012-08-10T18:52:14.299+02:00These are great shots, but from the little I know ...These are great shots, but from the little I know of mountain wind currents, I would not do this. My pilot's training stressed the dangers of flying close to mountains with their up and down drafts.Taken For Grantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763027485732267570noreply@blogger.com
