Thanks: Gave 21, Got 30 | Chinook Helicopter Ride.......as a gift
Guys, I'm looking to, as a gift get a Ride in a Chinook Helicopter as a present for his 30th Birthday, but cannot find anywhere that sells it as a gift.
Does anyone know whether this is available, or will I have to sign him up to the army?
Thanks

Does it specifically have to be a chinook?
You could always buy him his own?

Chinnys are very wobbly and noisy. Any large heli will offer the same experience.
You'll struggle to get on a military one due to insurance restrictions, (legally) civvys cannot be carried.

The only trips I am currently aware of, are at the RAF open days, and they are normally family only.
But Its something they've always wanted.
I found this, which gives them an idea i suppose: Take a ride in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.

The Chinook....... brrrrrrrrrr
I have been on more than I care to remember but the experience is not one I miss these days
If someone offered me a 'gift' of a chinook ride I would not be amused. Might want to rethink that present... fun is not a word I would use | |
