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.

That’s just plain dumb, and I can say that as a chopper pilot.
My very first helicopter ride had just the pilot. Back in the 1960s, it was a promotion for some department store.
I may have been about 10, if that.
Granted, it was very short, basically up and down, but it happened.
Also took the then-wife on a helicopter tour up a glacier in NZ.
I am thankful my daughter no longer is a flight nurse for a commercial medical helicopter service. She was hired as part of a group that replaced a crew that perished in a crash. Although the company seemed committed to maintenance and safety training, she survived two hard autorotation landings. What scares me now is that she has the itch to go back.
