Have you ever seen out of a window in a helicopter? Have you seen a mountain right underneath you with your fingers itching to touch it? What about the sights that you would see? The purpose of this essay is to explain what its like to been in a helicopter and what you can expect.

Mt st Helens one of Washington’s mountains the one that blew up and caused a lot of mayhem. When you ride in a helicopter it feels like you’re actually a bird and the sights are breathing taking. But in order to fly in a helicopter you have to weigh your self and watch a safety video. The will assign you a spot in the helicopter if you are the passenger and sit next to the pilot you can see directly under your seat because its sorta like glass and you feel like you are going to fall but don’t. When you are in the back behind the pilot than you can’t see under you but you can see out side in windows and you also may open them if you wish.
Whats inside the helicopter and what the sights were. Inside the helicopter it’s like a car only you can actually feel when you go up or down. Have you ever been on a swing? Well if you have you must know how it feels when you come back down after you go up on the swing how your stomach feels like it’s full of butterflies well that’s how it was for me. Heres what happened when I first went into a helicopter. It was early in the morning and my mom rushed us out the door with out eating (not that I was hungry) we went on a long car trip I thought at one time that we were going to go to an old friends house but boy was I wrong. Anyway we went into deep woods and then we came to the resort. We walked around for a while and looked around once we got inside the fumes were over whelming and all the smells and all the people.

My helicopter ride. It was about 1:00 pm we were waiting for a helicopter to come and take us over Mt. st Helens. I was dragging my feet not wanting to go (im terrified of heights deathly afraid) “mom Im scared” I said over and over again “don’t be there’s nothing to be afraid of” my mom said after I said I was scared I tried anyway to get out of it but then the helicopter arrived. I felt as if I was going to throw up then and there! I didn’t want to do this because im just the one kid in the family who is terrified of heights. (Im always so different from my family) we got in the helicopter and they strapped us in and there was no turning back now. We put on these headphones and then took off we saw some life only deer and we also saw petrified trees that happened because it was so hot that it didn’t burn. And then we flew over the mountain I was filming this but as we were over it a big gas fume opened and I caught it on camera even though I didn’t see it first hand it was still really cool .

That was how it was in the helicopter we flew for about 30 minutes I thought it was rally cool and I will do it again hopefully sometime soon! The sights were amazing even thought when you saw deer they looked like fruit flies. And the feeling that you had when you were in the air you can’t compare it, it was just like you were free and nothing could touch you. It was just so fun I hope you can also have the experience for your self!!
