Flying the Chopper

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do (and this is on my secret “to do” list) is to be able to fly a chopper or even a 2-seater civilian plane. I know, I have to get a license for that and the flight schools are too damn expensive. But, it doesn’t hurt to dream.

Yesterday, I did just that. No, scratch that part. I did something close to that. We flew a chopper in Tagaytay. Let me share with you some of the photos I took. Pictures after the jump.

Chopper

Oh, did I forgot to mention it was a toy helicopter? Sorry, I missed that part.

Helicopter Toy

The one that we brought to Tagaytay yesterday was a cheap toy helicopter I bought a week ago while shopping for gifts for my godchildren. This one doesn’t run on gas but on four double-A batteries powering a small dynamo.

If you can’t afford your dream, improvise!

    Oh Joy! I saw this baby at Toy Kingdom a couple of days ago and suffice it to say, my inner child squealed with glee!

    So is it worth it? How long do the batteries last?
