Helicopters are great fun, but even if you keep it at home then then limitations on where you can land at the other end means that always end up driving.Dump them all and get a helicopter
Bit of a issue getting a helicopter though the drive-in at Maccy D's though.Dump them all and get a helicopter
Those height restriction bars in the drive thru lane are there for a reasonBit of an issue getting a helicopter though the drive-in at Maccy D's though.
Some excellent choices. An Azure would be a wonderful itch to scratch.It’s nowhere near enough for a dream garage, but if you insist….
Bentley Brooklands or Azure at around 110k
A really good 560sec wide body replica at 100k (real ones too much money)

Range Rover Autobiography at 110k

Helicopters don't need to be that much - when I had my lessons , about 25 years ago , a Robinson R22 piston engined helicopter was yours for about £120 grand ; even then there were cars that cost that much .Dump them all and get a helicopter
There was an article about someone dubbed the 'chopper shopper' during the pandemic , who flew to his local farm shop to pick up sandwiches , which the assistant ran out and placed on the ground . Apparently it was a mechanic doing a 'test flight' from a nearby airfield .Bit of a issue getting a helicopter though the drive-in at Maccy D's though.
Helicopters are much more fun ; I'm not licensed for either , but have had lessons in , and flown with friends , Robinson R22 , Cessna 172 , and Piper PA38 Tomahawk , plus a few random others . High winged aircraft like the Cessnas are better for doing aerial photography , but the Pipers were more fun to fly .Helicopters are great fun, but even if you keep it at home then then limitations on where you can land at the other end means that always end up driving.
That’s even more true for planes, but even so I fly by plane much more often as they’re better suited for the kind of distances which make flying worthwhile.

Best way - keeps down insurance premiums.....I just keep them on the page, just a fantasy wish list akin to the dream two car, three car garage
