Field Trip

The kids and I went on a field trip a couple weeks ago to a high altitude helicopter training facility. We found out that pilots here have to be specially trained due to the high altitude the air is thinner. Their reaction time is shorter. It was pretty cool and we learned a lot. We did find out it would cost about $20,000 dollars just to learn to fly and get your lesson. Of course the favorite part was sitting in the helicopter! It looked so small and it actually sat 4 people! At the end they gave every child a bag with a color book, poster, plastic helicopter, and a book to read about helicopters. It was such a fun trip!
