Helicopter Flight over Perth & Rottnest Island

Hi, photos of my wonderful helicopter flight, the best Christmas present ever.  It was a trip from my family for Christmas, next to me in this photo is the pilot- 20 years of age age but looked about 15!  He has has lots of experience as a pilot & after training in WA won a scholarship to the U.S. so I felt pretty safe despite his young age.  His name is Ian.

Toy helicopter- you can see if it was any smaller I wouldn't get in! The attractive black straps on me is the life jacket.  Push any harder on the side & I would tip it over! 

Restored Tiger Moth landing, just before our take off.

Going through the check list prior to take off.

Views of the beautiful Swan River, heading towards the coast

Golf Club.  The air was very hazy so some photos a bit blurred.

View back to Perth CBD, again a bit blurred
