dunefreak Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Looks like there was a guy giving helicopter tours out at Dumont over Halloween weekend. Pretty cool. That might explain why there was a helicopter flying the same pattern over and over all weekend. This guy posted a video of his ride on our FB page. Here it is... <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PbjqnxRrbYg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvnalolife Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah, we were gonna do it but when we went over the line was hella long and we wouldn't have gotten on until after dark. Looked cool. Worth the $20 ea for the 4-5 min loop around the dunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineurbiz Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I don't know this for fact, but someone said he made a low pass over comp and got sideways, wonder what the pucker factor is on that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19th_AT Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Let me be the first to say that aviation and sand dont mix. I wouldnt be caught up in that thing unless I saw his FDB and complete maintainence records. Or maybe thats just the military side of me coming back out again ...LOL anyways I pass.

EY3BA11 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Not the military side of you. I wouldn't get in it. And I'm wondering if he is doing it legit? Commercial license? Vendor permit? So in and so forth. sent from your mom's phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandfrk33 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I posted the vid on FB. Definately worth the $20. The dunes look alot smaller from above them. I think they started flying lower to comp on the next day. Saw them do it a few times. I had a blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
