Yesterday, I got a chance to ride along on an overview of a pipeline corridor in Ohio. The purpose was primarily for representatives from the OEPA and USACE to get a landscape view of the corridor. It was a lot of fun to do, and a challenge to stay oriented while traveling 100 mph a 1000 feet up. The weather was beautiful and the flight took all day. The helicopter was very nice, although it was not very spacious. Helicopters sure are a great way to travel.

Uncle Ben-
Why did you get to go on the helicopter ride? Was it part of your work? It looks like fun.

The helicopter ride was a part of work. I went to help show where the pipeline is supposed to go. It was fun, you would like helicopters, I think.
