点评:Well......what can I say??? The flight crew & the ground crew all said that I would have a smile on my face for at least a week after the flight! They were NOT wrong!!! The smile is still going strong. Though to be fair, the Huey is my favourite chopper so even if sat somewhere without a view I would still have loved it. Fortunately for me I ended up in the middle seat right behind the pilots. (This was great because I could keep an eye on Phil & Neil to make sure they were flying correctly!) Being a keen flyer myself but mainly PC simulators I was stoked to watch the controls being used correctly and in awe of the in-flight, start-up & cool-down processes. From start-up, the waving grass as the rotors turned, the take-off, twisting & turning through valleys, traversing cloud corridors, sharp banks left & right, screaming down the runway at top speed with more waving grass as we finally touched down back at base.......what an experience!!!
Although the Huey (509) is my favourite chopper and taking a ride in a surviving model was one of the best experiences ever......I don't think the day would have been the same without the input of the flight crew & ground crew. On the ground and in the air, the flight crew were great. Serious for the pre-flight briefing and funny, informative & enthusiastic up in the air. My partner who did not take a flight was welcomed in on the pre-flight briefing & all other events and was well looked after by the ground crew and friends of fellow passengers. This was great as she felt she was still included in the day even though she wasn't going up. We both had a great time (up in the air & down on the ground!) and was only sad when we landed and the rotors came to a halt. We would love to do this again as soon as possible and if I won the lottery you would be seeing a LOT more of me!!!
Thank you to everyone involved in our great day and really look forward to seeing you again when possible.
Best regards

翻译:嗯……我能说什么???机组人员和地勤人员都说,飞行后至少一周我的脸上都会挂着微笑!他们没有错!笑容依然浓烈。公平地说,休伊是我最喜欢的直升机,所以即使坐在没有风景的地方我仍然会喜欢它。对我来说幸运的是,我最终坐在飞行员后面的中间座位上。 (这太棒了,因为我可以密切关注菲尔和尼尔,以确保他们正确飞行!)作为一名热衷于飞行的人,但主要是电脑模拟器,我很兴奋地看到控制装置被正确使用,并对飞行中的飞行感到敬畏、启动和冷却过程。从启动开始,旋翼转动时草丛随风飘扬,起飞,在山谷中盘旋和转弯,穿过云走廊,左右急转弯,最后降落时,以全速在跑道上尖叫,更多草草随风飘扬回到基地......真是一次经历!
尽管 Huey (509) 是我最喜欢的直升机,乘坐幸存型号的直升机是有史以来最好的体验之一......我认为如果没有机组人员的投入,这一天不会是一样的& 地勤人员。在地面和空中,机组人员都很棒。飞行前的简报非常严肃,空中的简报有趣、内容丰富且热情。我的伙伴没有乘坐航班,但他受到了飞行前简报和所有其他活动的欢迎,并受到地勤人员和其他乘客的朋友的精心照顾。这太棒了,因为她觉得尽管她没有上升,但她仍然被包括在这一天中。我们都度过了一段美好的时光(在空中和在地面上!),只有当我们着陆并且旋翼停止时才感到悲伤。我们很乐意尽快再次这样做,如果我赢得了彩票,你会看到更多的我!
感谢所有参与我们美好一天的人,并真诚地期待在可能的情况下再次见到您。
