Heli Cold!

Why is Jens so happy?  It is because her brothers are leaving on Saturday morning and leaving her with Mommy and then with Mama Rae!
 Where were her brothers going?  In the helicopter to Entiat!  Sweet bravo sweet, Ghostrider!"
 Be sure to notice the aviator jacket being worn by the wannabe aviator.
 The temperature at take off was 19* and after elevation it was much, much colder.
 Otherwise it was a perfect day to heli-chopper around in the air.
 Bob and Aaron each got to go on rides from Entiat while the boys and I hunkered down in their pickup.
 We came back up the river and over the plateau to Waterville.  It was such a beautiful day that even Waterville looked pretty.  Who would of thunk it?
 What?  I couldn't hear you all the way on the top of this mountain, overlooking the kingdom.
 That's Lake Chelan shot from over Waterville.
 Those are pretty mountains.
 More pretty mountains with Mt. Adams on the left.  

 Yeah, I like mountains.  How'd you guess?
 The boys always fight over who gets turn off all the buttons.  Today it was Ryker's turn, but Rock made sure to hover close by in case he missed one.
 This is what the help looks like from the outside.
 He even knows just how to pull the rotor break.
 And no helicopter ride is complete without getting to play in Len's boat while Papa Dale pulls the chopper into the shop.

  1. Best flight crew EVER! Couldn't have any more fun than up with them and their "commands". ERROR when it was mentioned Rock as a wannabe aviator??? What's with that, he IS an aviator.
