Spend a night in a helicopter

For all copterfreaks, who want ( not have to!!! ) to spend a night in a helicopter ( not really cheap, but exclusive.. )

www.winvian.com

they pimped up an old USCG HH-37 Pelican and used it for one of their unique cottages.

look under "cottages" and scroll to "helicopter"

Why spend money to have a night in a helicopter?
I get payed my salary to do just this at least 7 nights every six weeks ;-)
Additional I have a great view with NVG or without, can listen to the sexy voices of the air traffic controllers (female) ;-)

Greetings Flying Bull

Yeah, right...

Why would I pay in excess of 2000 USD for a night for the privilege rather than pay equivalent for SFH of Robbie or 300 and can spent most (if not all) of night FLYING - subject to insurance policies and required ratings..

At the end of night, I end up with 'night time' in log book rather than lil' experience how it could feel crashing on a stretcher in USCG bird after being rescued and fainting from exhaustion and stress.

Definitely for execs who got dosh to burn.
