@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ This morning we got up at around 8am, leisurely making our way to the Grand Cany
The next scheduled flight in a helicopter that sits 7 people was at 12:30pm. So we went off to Tusayan, the neighboring town, to find some brunch, as we had about 90min to kill before we had to check in for our flight. We had a great salad (Pim) and BLT (Paul) at a local cafe and walked back to the car, drove to the airport at 11:45 and hung out there for a bit. At 12:15 our pilot stepped into the room, actually there were five pilots and quite a few folks to take a tour. Our flight had 6 people in it. I took the window seat (better filming position), and Paul graciously took the middle seat (which ended up having spectacular frontal and both sides' view for photos.

The flight was spectacularly awesome. At times, the chopper would yaw and pitch and drop a few feet, but when this happened I was looking at the pilot who was just glancing around the environment and generally enjoying himself, so I figured this is all a part of helicopter flight. I shot a lot of footage (I'll compose a youtube video when I get back home in Zurich, as I do not have iMovie or other editing software on my mac right now). Amongst ourselves we also took about 100 photos - some of them are very very good!! See the picture gallery for details.
