I just flew in a Bell Jet Long Ranger and I had to scrunch in my rear facing seat because there is no head room at all.

It is my dream to buy a Robinson R44, which runs about $400K new.

Seats 4, then I will hire myself out to be a tuna spotter. I don't even care if I make money, as long as I get to fly around all day at the beach.

A friend took me up in one and I loved it. First thing to do when I sell the business and have some time is get my rotorcraft rating.
I use my cigar smoke as idiot repellent

The fuel costs will probably kill you. Just out of curiousity, I wonder what the typical yearly maintenance costs etc. are for something like this.

My kids used to call them "helipocters". I said, "Kids, if you can't****ing say it properly, I am not buying you one, now get back to sanding that cabinet I'm making"

When you get one let me know, I'm looking at becoming a private detective and would enjoy having someone with a helicopter to fly me around to various adventures.
At midnight I'm back in my room, it serves as a drunkards tomb.
