This morning Julie and I headed out to Lansing, Illinois to use our Groupon for a helicopter tour of Chicago by Sun Aero Helicopters. The flight was a 35 minute flight from the South Side up along Lake Michigan to the Hancock building and then down to the University of Chicago. I’ve never been in a helicopter or a small plane for that matter and I’m pretty sure every time I get on a plane I’m testing fate. In other words I was pretty freaked out for the first 10 minutes and then I settled in. I think if it was a windy day I would have been terrified the entire trip. I let Julie ride shotgun figuring if we went down I didn’t want to see it happen. That all being said it was an amazing ride. The weather was great so we were able see everything.
