My First Helicopter Ride

My girlfriend won a pair of tickets for a nighttime helicopter ride over the Las Vegas strip. I honestly don't like heights too much, but I definitely was not going to pass up an opportunity to bring my Zoom H1 recorder along.

The helicopters that Maverick Tours fly are EC-130s. Although it was a bit windy (as it tends to be regularly in Vegas), the views were excellent!



The entire duration of the flight (about 20 minutes) was recorded from an interior perspective behind the pilot. I edited the recording down and used iZotope RX to clean up and attenuate some of the high frequencies. Check it out:
