I propose you just hire a charter helicopter, and if you can’t afford it, too bad.
Now pay me my consulting fee.

Out. Helicopters are sketchy.

What about one with multiple rotors?

Hmm, seems equally as sketchy but I’ve not had a ride on one. Won’ t be an armchair critic.

I’d like to give you eleventy billion dollars to develop this into a money losing business.

All helicopters have multiple rotors unless your one of those weirdos that flies a gyrocopter.

Not really. I’ve ridden in a bunch. They are like cars. If you take care of them, they are fine.

Brilliant. Fully autonomous too, just tell the pilot where you want to go and he takes you there

If I was a dictator, I’d ban helicopters except for medical extractions.

Too much swinging blades sounds dangerous. How about coleopters instead?

Maybe when you’re moving fast but hovering they feel like they’re just going to drop out of the sky, you feel everything in the worst ways.
My buddy who was a Heli pilot for the Navy said “yeah, that’s the thing about helicopters, ya never really feel that safe in them”

Uber Copter really is a thing that exists and...honestly isn’t that expensive. https://www.uber.com/us/en/ride/uber-copter/

I propose that we de-regulate aircraft operations in order to make things cheaper, thus more accessible to the plebeians.
Figure about a week in MS Flight Simulator and that’s enough to learn to fly a real one.

sole valid criticism. I’ll pretend I figured it out on my own and send you to gulag with the agusta westlands. (yes, I’m locking helicopters up)

I have difficulty seeing these being a good idea in any circumstance...

Which of the Thunderbirds is that?
Maybe we should ask Brains David Tracy.

Charter is the way to go. That whole ‘ 12 hours from bottle to stick’ thing really cramps my style, especially if I want to go downtown for dinner.

Agreed, there’s too many pieces there. K.I.S.S.:
