Kind of like a big fan on it's side with some dumb, poor (emphasis on poor) bastard underneath it trying to keep it from crashing to earth.. I've also heard there are three or four whirly-copter schools in the states... Ok, enough sarcasm.. What particular state would you like to fly in?? Any particular city?? There are hundreds (if not thousands) of helicopter schools across the country...

This place is chock full of all kinds of praise for that outfit: http://www.thesilverstatetruth.com Thankfully (?) Slither State won't let joe-shit-the-ragman off the street pop in for one quick intro flight... It's an all or nothing (and usually you get nothing) affair with them.

Since I work in the field, I can probably reccommend one based on my work experiences with them. Still, I need to know which part of the country he wants to fly a helicopter in. I can tell you one outfit he should avoid......

Who has done this before and can recomand the area / shool. If you're going to be flying through the Chicago area, stop at Lansing Municipal (KIGQ) and visit Sun Aero Helicopters. Ken Janik and his crew will be glad to introduce you to rotary flight.
