A colleague of mine recently got his private helicopter pilot license and needed to upgrade from a 2-seater to a 4-seater. For this he needed two passengers and I just happen to be a qualified passenger. The aim of the exercise was to practice various approaches and landings, so we picked 3 wine farms with heli pads as our destinations.

Here are some pictures.

Now, if only I had R130K, I can also get a license. A good time was definitely had by all.
