I rode in this helicopter like this guy to shoot the offshore powerboat world championship in Key West. We took off from Naples and flew low over the everglades to get to the keys. The view was spectacular with lots and lots of gators and tree damage from hurricane Andrew.
For shooting the race, I strapped into a safety harness with a rope so I could move freely while the others wore seatbelts. I had a still camera in one hand and a video camera in the other so I couldn't hold on to anything and I had to be real careful I didn't slide off the bench seat and test the knot on my rope.
Flying low along side those race boats hanging out the helicopter that day has to be one of the coolist things I've ever done
