Helicopter Over Myrtle
It was a week of many firsts for me, from eating oysters to deep sea fishing and the Saturday of my departure was no different . On the way to the airport my buddy CJ asked me if I wanted to hop on a helicopter before I left and I barely let him finish the question. 20 minutes later we’re cruising the Boardwalk a couple thousand feet up on one of the most beautiful days of the year. Near the end of the flight, the pilot asked us if we wanted the “stress free landing” or the “Vietnam re-entry”… Cam and I looked at each other and laughed, I said “Well we’d like to make it home, a lotta homies in Nam didn’t do that.” He turned around with a thumbs up, then proceeded to kamikaze dive bomb us into the trees to the point they were blowing around from the helicopter blades. We screamed and giggled like kids, and lived to tell about it. What an remarkable experience, love you CJ.
