Adventure is in the Air

I did it!  I flew a helicopter today!  This was an idea that sounded a little scary to me.  I had to make sure that I listened carefully to all of my instructor's safety rules and procedures.  I also had to watch closely so that when it was my turn to fly the helicopter I could do it smoothly.  Can you believe that my helicopter did not have a door on my side??  YIKES!  Luckily I was seatbelted in!

I had a great time learning to use the controls on the Robinson R22 Helicopter that I flew.  It was quite small and only fit two people.  My instructor, Mr. Mario, was very encouraging and friendly.  I flew over and along a river, a big highway, trees and buildings.  It was such a wonderful view!  If I ever do it again I hope for it to be a sunny day.  I did not record too much while I was in the air, because I had to ask Mr. Mario to fly while I used my camera.  I wanted to make sure that I flew as much as possible while I was up there.  You can see a little clip of my flight below.

Here are some books at our library that you can borrow!
