Heli flying is really expensive, though, and is mostly just for commercial use, not recreational, unless you have lots and lots of money.

Float flying, especially if you build your own plane like I did, is much more affordable, and more fun, too, IMO.

But some heli guys have fun, too, if you work for BC Helicopters. Here is a vid made late this fall here, in the mtns just north of Vancouver. One of the helis used in the filming was on our Taseko trip.
