Up, up and away.. by maggiemae

Up, up and away..

in my helicopter ride! Looking onward to the large Lake of Manapouri where we started out trip. Edna, our friend is in the front and taking photos with her phone.
Last century someone dropped some moose in this territory and as yet no one has ever seen one! I kept my eyes peeled!
Love this composition with the photographer in the front and the view through the cockpit window. How exciting it must have been for you!

@grammyn I think most people loved it, Katy - I'm not a good flyer in small aircraft - keep thinking i'm going to fall out the bottom!

@maggiemae Not sure I would like it either but I admire you for doing it!

Love helicopters. Flew into Milford sound on a helicopter a few years ago, and loved every minute of it.

I have flown in helicopters, but they are not y favorite mode of transportation.. Best trip was going up and over the Alaskan glaciers and landing to walk on them. That was awesome.

Depending on how high they were dropped from, they may never be seen. ;-)

Just kidding.

What a fun experience. I've never been in a helicopter. The scenery here's looks amazing!!!

Just awesome. I remember my first helicopter ride. it was in Alaska. we were outfitted with track fast boots. the pilot arranged the seating more or less by weight and he picked me for the copilot seat and was I had hoped for a none window seat. I was too nervous to take pictures in flight.

A bit claustrophobic despite the great view out the front! What a terrific adventure you've had!

@bruni I was nervous too. The pilot told us not to put the camera against the windows as it would scratch and so I just pointed and shot!
