reality Vs dream

Puppets! How good is that? Cheapest chopper flying any of us are ever likely to see? For me growin' up in the early 60s it was the US TV show Whirlybirds, those guys were so cool.

YouTube - Bell 47 Whirlybirds TV Tribute & Ride "Simply Irresistible"



Eventually did some time in a B47 just to see what it was like. Reminded me of the IMAX experience in slomo. Ain't it great when the actual experience lives up to the childhood expectation?
