Rotorheads!

Libby picked a perfect day to tour the Twin Cities by air! She got a half-hour helicopter ride for her birthday back in April, and finally got up in the skies today. She took brother Luke with her, and the pilot agreed to take their Dad, too. We flew the R-44 out of the Anoka-Blaine Airport, and got to see downtown Minneapolis (including Target Field, the still-collapsed Metrodome, the new I-35W bridge and all of the skyscrapers). We then transitioned down I-94 past the U of M, St. Thomas, Minnesota Wire, and over to St. Paul to see the Cathedral, the State Capitol and the Mississippi. Then it was back to the airport, but not before the pilot demonstrated an engine failure and an autorotation into a field... awesome!
