Re: Burdie's Part two trip July 17th. Working back home

My friends I have never flown in a copter before and always wanted to. So my surprise from my wife was to do just that. So here is my treat. PICT0011-6.JPG The pilot asked me if it was my first flight and I said yes. He said it was his first to and up we went. :icon_scratch:

After regaining consciousness I started taking pictures. PICT0013-6.JPG PICT0015-3.JPG


Uh yes I got the picture please level the copter level again. :cussing: :nono: PICT0022-3.JPG THANK YOU!!

On the ground. Firstflight.jpg I will not forget this experience.

Thanks for looking.

Well I guess my boat ride just took a big tumble on your list of exciting things you did on your vacation. And I bet the pilot of the helicopter didn't threaten you with having to push the copter like I threatened you with pushing the boat that was out of gas. But I did show you a castle and a place you would love to metal detect. (Guess we could use some night vision stuff! (remember the island)) Dang it, I was so looking forward to seeing the backside of the copter. Glad your having a good time but isn't it amazing how fast your vacation has gone? I have been back at work for 8 weeks since you left.

Burdie,
Flying a copter, very cool. :thumbsup: Did you have a change of shorts with you once you were back on the ground? :tongue3:
You two sure know how to have fun. I can't wait to see what you post next.
Were you able to visit Dolly in Pigeon Forge? You may have even spotted her from that copter. No, those were not mountains. ;D :wink:
Take care,
Doug

Still in Pigeon Forge. Had breakfast at the old mill. I highly recommend it. PICT0001-6.JPG

PICT0002-7.JPG Hey how did that get in there? PICT0005-6.JPG

Vicki loves Christmas stores so we ended up here. PICT0009-8.JPG

Oh I got to visit the Bass Pro Shop. :thumbsup: Nana tell Lisa's husband I bought shoes just like his. :tongue3:

Say is that woman radioactive? PICT0011-7.JPG

I ran into River Rats sister. She waves a lot but didn't talk. PICT0010-7.JPG

Heading for Nashville Tenn. next. I am going to try to make it in the music business. ::)

Well I pointed the four wheeler in this direction today.

Later in the day we stoped along a waterfall that is located along the Cumberland trail.

This drop off is easy 50 plus feet.
