Florian, my son, and our friend Dagmar were waiting for their helicopter flight and I met Andrew, the Irish pilot who asked what time my flight was at.
I explained that due to my (really existing) fear of flying and being air sick that I had no wish to ever do a helicopter flight. Our conversation continued and he convinced me that I need not to be afraid. Andrew offered me the front seat beside him in about fifteen minutes...he told me that I could get away from any fears I thought I had and return to Cologne very proud of what I had done. He was so sure that I would love the experience, he told me not to pay anything for the tour and the deal was that if I returned from the trip having been sick or really nervous, the trip would be paid for by him...
Wow, he was right, I fly with him and loved every moment of it. No fear within one minute of lift off and no sick bag on return. I was never as happy in my life and I paid my fare gladly. The helicopter flight was an extraordinary great experience for me - especially with Andrew at my side and it was definetely in our top 3 things to do in NYC.
Back in Germany now and I’m soooo happy and proud with myself that I can’t stop telling all my family and friends about it. I think about it so many times.
Thank you Andrew for not only taking me for an indescrybably beautiful flight around manhattan but more importantly taking my fear of flying helicopters!! I would not have done one of our favorites from our NYC visit without you.
