That LONG Chopper ride...(about 1980)

 May be an image of 1 person and helicopter 

While I was working for WERC Radio, the company that provided traffic reports was purchasing a new chopper from a company in Los Angeles, and the pilot was flying it back to Birmingham. I begged and pleaded and was allowed to ride with him! A GREAT experience. Took us three days, with stops at airport motels along the way. I semi co-piloted, though once misdirected the pilot and almost had us land at a military base instead of the civilian airport (whoops!)
