@kusuriya @thegibson @randomgeek @nathans that’d be fun! @Wrewdison @thegibson @randomgeek @nathans Once my stomach settled and I realized I was still inside the helicopter it was fun. @kusuriya @Wrewdison @randomgeek @nathans Things that look graceful from the ground, rarely are at altitude. @kusuriya @thegibson @randomgeek @nathans VRS (settling with power) is a thing.
