First flight in the new KC MO Heli...

[Eric Zentner]

Thanks to my friend and member(sitges1990) Jay, Sgt of KC MO police dept.
Hooked me up for a ride tonight in one of the three new helicopters.
I got to fly it myself for about 5 or 6 min what a dream!
Thanks again Jay. He is in the first pic in uniform.

Yes I do Luke lol. The new ones have the (new) style FLIR,and live cam on them, it is state of the art teckno.
It is a little small for me at 6'3 250lbs.... we were out for about 25 min or so but my little time with the stick was the highlight....
Here is a vid on them.......http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...fNb1BfPnJ_XR2w...............

Nice one Eric.........!

I had only control of the Cyclic, he had the Collective and tail, but what fun all the same.
On a side note I find the cable cutters mounted interesting at top and bottom.
Thanks for the kind words and likes guys this was such a blast for me!

Great chopper pics from what looks and sounds like a great night out with the guys.

Have you been to see Ft. Rucker - I heartedly recommend it, if you like helicopters.

A few years ago, a US buddy and I drove there. Here a few pics, that I snapped:
