My only ride in a chopper was a huey ride at Pidgon Forge in the
Smokies. I was expecting it to be bumpy and with vibrations, but it was
smoother than an elevator. Not at all like riding in a small airplane like
a Cesna.

My only other helicopter ride was in a Coast Guard H52 around Oahu for my
orientation to working Search & Rescue. THAT was cool beans. But I hate
helicopters. No wings to glide. Nothing but vibrations (they feel as
though they are trying to tear themselves apart). Autogyrating is not for
me, thank you very much. I've watched Coastie pilots practice that. I'll
take a big, slow, noisy Herc with a hydraulic leak any day over a chopper.
