Matt, an experienced commercial helicopter pilot at Maverick Helicopters, shares what he thinks is one of the most thrilling parts about flying. Matt believes that taking off is the most thrilling because it is not what most people expect. Most people have this preconceived notion that helicopters just fly straight up to take off, however, that is not always the case. Helicopter takeoffs are a lot similar to airplane takeoffs as it takes a moment for the aircraft to build momentum. When taking off, the nose of the helicopter is faced down and shoots into the sky like a slingshot!
