Jewtoys Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Screw cars, a helicopter is what you need! I'm out on the lake 3-5 times a week, and spot at least one helicopter at someone's home, crazy. Sucks wanting something that literally makes no sense. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1212/4798801/9950206/411354257.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 F that. If I live on a lake I'll be riding my boat everyday. F that. If I lived on a lake and had a helicopter, I'd be riding a hot chick everyday. You could borrow my boat as I wouldn't need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 There's a guy my dad knows that lives on his triple decker houseboat on Lake Cumberland and flys his personal helicopter to his office in the city everyday. That's his commute. Met him once, totally down to earth guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always see them buzzing around the lake but assumed it was because a airport is along the lake..... Insane money to maintain those things.

criitter7 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Anything where the wings move faster than the fuselage Is unsafe... I'll take the hot chicks and the boats though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 My brother is a commercial airline pilot. He has flown in two helicopters before as a copilot. Described them both as a fuck ton of vibrations, noises, and everything else that makes you wish you were in a plane. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Mart Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Did a Lake Powell vacation one year. Awesome house boat, wakeboard boat, jet skis - thought we had it good until the guy across was towing a guy on a wakeboard with his heli that he eventually landed on his house boat. Some serious money out there. There's a guy my dad knows that lives on his triple decker houseboat on Lake Cumberland and flys his personal helicopter to his office in the city everyday.

C-Mart Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I was expecting this the first time I flew in one, but I found it surprisingly smooth. They are very loud though.

Yeah same here, very loud but that's about it granted all trips have always been very short but that's pretty much the only reason for one are short trips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Pain to fly, expensive to learn as a privateer. Small fixed wing is where its at. Get some "road" tires on it an fly it out of our backyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some "road" tires on it an fly it out of our backyard. I see a few seaplanes as well along the water, which are equally as rad. But hoping in the back yard, and a quick 90 minute flight to the beach would be nice, or 10 minutes to uptown where you can land at a hotel would become very useful with the traffic here. I don't have helicopter money though :fuuuu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maintenance and government mandated safety checks on helis are very costly comparatively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's his commute. Met him once, totally down to earth guy. I love the Poker Run at Cumberland each year. There are multiple guys that have their boats brought to the lake, land their private helicopter on their house boat or at the top of the hill and are brought down by their man servant, and then race around the lake at 150+mph only to have dinner waiting for them on their boat cooked by their private chef and served by the hooker(s) they rented for the weekend. Makes me laugh every time I see it. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 It really depends what kind of helicopter you guys are talking about. Most of the new models have carbon composite blades and they are a very smooth ride. Sound just depends on the fuselage, engine type, etc. They are a blast but unless you are stupid RICH, it's always cheaper to rent or lease one...
