Flying to Half Moon Bay for lunch

A co-worker of mine owns a helicopter. On good weather days he sometimes flies out to Half Moon Bay for lunch and this Thursday he asked me to join him. I figured that it's a pretty rare opportunity so I said yes.

It was a lot of fun and very interesting seeing all of the preparations that he had to do and the communications with the towers. I have only been in a helicopter once before this, and it was rather large comparatively. This helicopter only seats 2-3 people, and I had to move my leg around the controls, and make sure I don't hit them. :p

On the way back he did a hilltop landing, and even offered to let me try a slight turn. I lightly touched the control stick and said "That's enough for me!" :p Then we did a steep turn before heading back... to work.
