The thrill of flying into that great wonder of the world was an experience I’ll never forget. My daughter was a bit nervous about flying in a helicopter for her first time. My assurance the it was safer than driving in the family car did little to assuage her concerns 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, all’s well that ends well, and she was grateful for the experience!
