heli-wop-wop update

Well the day finally came. After all the grief and boredom I put up with at work, a perk final appeared on the horizon. In the shape of a Lynx Helicopter. After a quick safety briefing on how to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye, and the signing of my life away, it was off into the air.

A quick 15 minute flight was what we were promised, but a great 15 minutes is what we got. We flew in less than 5 minutes what takes hours to drive. Especially in rural england traffic. The pilot was very nice and didn't toss us around too much, but he did make sure we all had a good time. So quick drops of altitude, some fast spins, and even some heavy on-our-side banking.

So the job sucks... I got to go on one of the fastest helicopters on earth. For free.

What a great job I have.
