helicopters, some photos

so, finally I have uploaded, resized, put on Flickr and ready to post, pictures from my helicopter ride in Montana.

<Rachel in cockpit of the helicopter

Paul’s daughter Rachel is learning to be a helicopter pilot which I think is a totally super cool thing to be learning. She loves it and she took us up on one of her training flights when we were there. It wasn’t scary at all, its like a little sports car inside and very comfortable if a bit cramped. That’s me in my new North face coat which is like wearing a large fluffy warm cloud. I love it, I hardly took it off the whole time I was there.

Anyway… here are the photos. Missoula and Bitterroot from the air.
