It was a two day trip and a good thing we had to land every couple hours. I got pretty sick on one of the flights. Hours in a helicopter + turbulence + just not being used to the whole thing = Motion sickness. Luckily I was able to tough it out(somehow) until our next "scheduled" landing. For the next leg, I made a nice bed in the back seat and slept the whole way. It did just the trick.
Most the airports we landed in were real small and deserted.
Matt taught me how to fly on our trip and actually let me do it! Don't let Matt fool you- it's a lot harder than it looks to keep that ship steady... and I was glad to have him as my back up.
Our first look at Calgary, Alberta. I was nervous about the whole flying at night, but apparently Matt knows what he's doing. That or he does a pretty good job at faking. Anyhow, we made it to our destination!
I knew this trip would be a "once in a lifetime" thing and I'm so glad I was able to go along side Matt. It was fun hearing him talk in his crazy lingo with the towers. The more i tried to follow their conversations, the more lost I would get. What a fun adventure for us- I just love my pilot so much.
