(Friday blog light)
I'm still amazed at what you can find offered for sale on ebay. Like this Bell 222A light commercial twin-engine helicopter.
I rode in a helicopter once but will choose flying with wings every time ... because I like being able to see what's holding me up.
Fixed-wing pilots are often suspicious of rotary-wings and generally define a helicopter either as A hundred aerodynamic errors spontaneously cancelling each other out or as 10,000 parts temporarily flying in formation.
But it might be fun having one to avoid stadium traffic during home games.
The 222A's maximum speed is about 150 mph with a range of just under 324 nautical miles. In case you're interested, the current bid is just over $670,000.
