I go to Hawaii every year and for this reason always wonder why people go on those helicopter tours. I just don’t trust the quality control on all levels.

You can see Waimeia Canyon plenty good from the road.

Took the second Mrs. Lurkin to Kuai for our 25th anniversary, and we rode in a helicopter tour up the Napali Coast and then down into an extinct volcano.
It was beautiful, but being over the water in that thing was more than a bit scary.

add Alaska to that list too. I’m a pilot and I jumped on board for a glacier tour. The guy scared the crap out of me climbing out on a ice slope hanging on the prop with 10 souls on board... Never again.

So true. You can bet the maintenance of those helicopters are done on an infrequent basis. I would avoid small plane and helicopter tours period!

Helicopter ride? Just say no.
Taking a minor on one is child abuse.
Unless life is on the line or it’s a case of military necessity, getting on a helicopter is an act so idiotic as to approach evil.

Is that where they filmed the helicopter landing in Jurassic Park?

Looked straight down on the very active caldera
Never again...

Helicopters autorotate which is similar to a glide.

That’s just plain dumb, and I can say that as a chopper pilot.
