Very cool.

In the first video the pilot said he burned just under 600 gallons of Jet Fuel A flying from Miami, FL to Carlsbad, CA. I searched for the price of Jet Fuel A and it looks like it's around $4.50 a gallon. So the cost would be just under $2,700 for the fuel alone. Gulp. :shock:

That's cool Mike.As much as I like flying in helicopters,I'm out on any cross country trip.
In the second video,I'm out when the pilot needs a notebook to get it started. :)

Obviously they forgot the "Student Driver" sign. :lol:
Seriously though, I've been convinced for years that if I had to, I could fly a helicopter, but not too sure if I could get one started.
