OK, I stand corrected, sightseeing is wonderful in a helo. I do admit that once I flew from Pittsburgh to Leadville Colorado no higher than (cough cough) 501 feet. I also admit to flying once from West Palm Beach Florida to Stratford Connecticut and achieving the distinction of passing every Vortac with a reading of 0.0 DME range.
Pick a clear day and sweep across the Rockies and then the farmlands of the mid-west and south at visual heights, it is wonderful!
