I have no idea how big the drop is, (well, I know the number, but physically, I can't imagine it)

but this amazed me

I thought the petronas towers were humungously high, and I didn't go to the top of them
(I have been to the top of the stratosphere, and I thought that was high, that's not even on the diagram lol!)

The grand canyon is amazing. We flew over and into it in a small helicopter :D.

It's so scary though being only like 20m away from huge canyon walls on each side :D. problem with a plane is you can only really look out one side.. with the helicopter is was a panoramic view :D.

Twas very hot though and i burnt my leg on the console [i was in the front next to the pilot]

it was kinda paroramic for me lol, I was sat right at the back, with no seat next to me, so nothing was blocking my vision on both sides, and the windows were huge.


we were going to do the helicopter thing, but it was like, double the price. and it was really windy too, lol.
and lucky you, you got to sit right at the front?
i'm jealous..

LMAO no!


I was in Vegas last week, so we were going to kill 2 birds with 1 stone and fly from there, but we ended up going up the next weekend, driving.

In Vegas they had G.C tours everywhereeeee, some of them looked really sketchy.

Them pics are bare nice.

I wanna go in a chopper or plane over the Canyon, more a helicopter because if you talk nicely to the pilot you'll get some good turns and maybe a few dives :D

I can imagine just how turbulent it is though, must be good fun too!

Oh and too the person who burnt there leg, I manage to do it everytime I go in a helicopter, either on the instrument panel or on the left hand bottom window, it really hurts lmao.
