Leaving On A Helicopter...#83

OK, well not really and I don't think that it is even logically possible possible but that's all I could come up with....

But yes, I finally got to fly in a helicopter this past weekend. I'll let the pictures and a little commentary speak for itself. : )

What we were crazily getting ourselves into...
So excited...and your damn right I sat my ass in the front seat!!
My sexy co-pilot
And we're off...the highway down there is I-4
Flying over the interstate getting a view of Orlando...I wasn't lying when I said it was flat...you could see all the way to Downtown Orlando
That is Discovery Cove at Seaworld
In the circular or octagon pools is where you can swim with dolphins and some of the other animals.
Sea World
You can see the Shamu dome as well as their roller coasters in the upper right corner
Here's a closer look look at the arena where the Shamu and other whale shows are. You see those 'little' black things in the water, yup, their whales!!
The Sea World roller coasters
SeaWorld's Aquatica....their waterpark
Those buildings in the distance are Disney's Grand Floridian (the red one on the left) and the Contemporary resorts (on the right)
Let's take a break from the scenery and take a look inside the cockpit...I kept my arms glued to my side because that thing was small as shit and I was not going to cause my own death if I accidently hit something
Our pilot...I don't remember his name but he kept us safe and that's what matters
Some Florida swampland for you
Downtown Disney...you can see Cirque Du Solei (the white building) and if you look further behind there you can see Disney's Swan and Dolphin Resort and to the left of that Animal Kingdom's Expedition Everest
The hotel I work at and very soon to be former employer. I work at the pink one on the left hand side but the white one is one of our sister hotels.
And now were coming back down...
I hope you have enjoyed your tour of Orlando via Little Woman & Big Man Adventures!!  : )

Sarah said...

That is so awesome! I think I'd be pretty scared doing that cause I'm not a huge fan of heights! Then again flying doesn't bother me so maybe not. You have sooo made me want to go down to Florida and see all those fun touristy things. I actually had a dream about it last night...look what you've done to me! Haha.
