A REALLY nice ride is a Biplane over the Florida Keys in an open cockpit. I have also done this over cape Cod.

I did that for my 50th Birthday!

For my 57th I flew a MASH Helicopter. (Talk about a rough ride!)

This year, for my B-day, I got my CCW.

All that sounds really great.

The Bell 47 (MASH style choppers) rides at EAA were just always absurdly long but it was fun to watch them.

Learning to fly a helicopter would be the type of flying I would be interested in. There is a school in Charleston but it pretty pricey (no shock I know) but there is a fixed wing place here in Columbia that looks more affordable and going into next year just might try one of those discovery flights to see if it would be worth going after.

A biplane always looked like fun for short hops. Maybe I can catch one at some kind of EAA event.

EAA stuff begins about halfway or so here:
