black sabbath helicopter tours
I rode in this once. On a tour of kaua’i. My boyfriend choose the tour with no doors instead of the tour that safely encloses all passengers inside with proper emergency gear. Here’s how my conversation went with the Vietnam Vet Pilot.
VVP: You scared?
Me: Yes. I’ve never been on a helicopter.
VVP: Don’t be scared. It’s not like we’re being shot at.
And then he fixed his bandana, strapped himself in with a tiny belt, blared ‘Highway to Hell’ and took off in this helicopter with shark teeth, and showed us the beautiful landscape of hawaii’s northern most island.

that my new motto: “not like we’re being shot at.”
